    I have the pregen wheels with 225/60R16 tires. I need to get new tires here very soon so I have been looking. Just have a quick question... if I get this same size will I still get the offset I've got, or is it a certain tire? I love the way my wheels look, just sticking out a tiny bit. Not sure if other size tires fit these rims but I'm going for the look I have now. I need to be able to tell the person I'm talking to that I want a certain size for a reason. Thx in advance!

    The tire has nothing to do with the offset. That's all about the rim. I personally love my Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum but they jumped way up in price since I got them.

    I've got Kumho ectsa 4x and I love them, got about 1.5k miles on them so far and cant see any treadwear vs when they got put on, lots of reviews online say they get really nice mileage if you're not doing burn outs and rippin around curves and stuff... and they give such a soft, quiet ride, nice grip wet or dry.. havnt gotten to use them in snow yet.
