Disagree. Mon-Fri has commuter traffic in the am. Best time is Sat/Sun right at dawn before the cyclist get up. Blast up the hill past Newcombs, then turn around and come back and eat breakfast when they open, check out some cars and bikes, then leisurely head down.

why are the rear wheels mounted so inside the rear quarter panels? Are the offsets all right?

It's called Midnight Blue Metallic. Not a wide body, just a standard Carrera S.

Ha-ha yea they look a bit ridiculous in the pics, not as bad in person. I went with a 265 rear versus the factory 305 for a few reasons:

1. Easiest to find(rims and tires)
2. Better snow performance with a skinnier tire
3. Less expensive tires

I still have the factory 5mm spacers, I suppose I could pick up some larger spacers to help out with the looks a bit, but it isn't bothering me too much right now.

Got it. Cool. Agree from personal experience about skinnier snow tires in the snow.
