    Yes, I've always used that exact size so that my speedo and odo are correct.

    I forgot to mention that with the Cooper tires I broke 20 mpg for the first time ever this summer. I normally got 18.5-19.5 mpg. They roll real nice.

    I've got a set of Ultra Quiet, great handling Yokohama Geolanders in a factory fitting dimension, all mounted up to a nice set of Factory 18" wheels

    You could always buy those
