Thanks! I've only had the car for 3 weeks, so haven't explored thoroughly yet...but I believe these are the Fuchs 15" wheels and it has WINTER tires on it (OMG)...my mechanic said the rubber is ok, so to just leave them until they are toast...save some $$ for other things.

When they had the wheels off I didn't notice any spacers. The springs look original and the struts are bright yellow...so maybe not original?

Does the stance look different than stock?

Seems to, but it could just be the angle of the shot. When you get a chance note the tire sizes and post them. It'd also be interesting to know whether all your wheels are the same width (7") or if you have a staggered setup (7" fronts, 8" rears). I think the "normal" Fuchs staggered setup is with 16" rims, but I could be all wet on that....

Just checked and they are as follows:

Front: Dunlop Signature 205 60 15
Rear: Hankook Icebear 225 60 15

Yes, snow tires all around and different front/rear tire makes...don't ask, as I don't have answers...lol...

There are no spacers on front or back.

So the rear tires are wider than front, but could just be wider tires on equal-sized wheels (which I've been known to do on other cars in the past)

Those snow tires will have great grip in the summer -- they'll just wear out really fast.

The stock "square" setup was 215/60 R15 and the staggered setup was 205/55 R16, 225/50 R16. So your rear tires are a bit larger than normal (and your fronts a bit smaller). Looks sweet though!
