Hi Eric,

I have the new Rewinds - '0' offset - I'll confirm fit this week-end. 

These will be my 'civilized' street tires - I've been running 15x8 ROH wheels 
with 225/50 - 15 Yok's A-008R's, stock fenders - slightly rolled at the top, 
car is extremely lowered - I only have rubbing with full tank of gas w/ 
passenger and big bumps.

My other 240Z has 16x7 ARE's w/ 225/45-16 Yok's AVS - nice tire, but they wear 
out quickly.  Up here in Canada they're also very (very) expencive.
