I ordered my 175/55/15 last week from tirerack and I got them in 2 days! They still rub a little with my 5" beam, but nowhere near as bad as 135SR15s did.
I ordered the 165/45/15 from Classic Camber in November and it took 3 weeks. The Federal Fermosa 165/45/15s made my car too low and looked kind of ricerish, but they didn't rub at all. I'd hit every reflector and my beam was adjusted all the way up with drop spindles.

what if you have a stock beam and are planning to add drop spindles.. would those 175/55's work ok?

Yeah, they're a good deal when they have them.
They were usually out of stock so I went straight to Conti and bought some so I'd always have them, cost a bit more, but they're easy to store and I have them on hand. |
