I think one thing to consider here also is that possibly the only reason that these are able to fit is because of the shorter width tire, as the stretched sidewall most likely keeps the tire from rubbing in the way that it would if you were to put what would be the correct dimension tire on it. I do wonder if the actual lip of the wheel would rub on the inside at all, or if the outside will get eaten up by the fender running over a good size bump/pothole, but I guess we won't know unless DHALAS wishes to share any experiences on that.
