16" Crossblade with 195/215 tires $3998.00/set

Will these fit stock cabrio without any type of wheel arch extension? All seasons? How long to order?

This will fit under the stock fenders. But I will recommend the fender extensions. The Conti Contact Sports are summers only. 2 weeks to order.

What about price minus tires. I really need all seasons because I am lazy and don't have room to keep winters.

Kumho tires are available 195/50ZR16 and 215/50ZR16. Now about the price minus tires?

215/50 is too tall for the rear and will upset the esp.

215/50 is too tall for the rear and will upset the esp. But anyway, rims only are $2604.00/set.

Not sure I understand what you mean by upset esp?

Couple more things...the arch extensions how do they attach? Do they look good or look like they should not be there? Will 50ZR fit with 16" wheels? What was the size of contis supplied?

Upsetting meaning confusing or driving the computer crazy having the incorrect size. The arch extensions are clipped on. They look fine to me. They are factory designed to be there.

Not to upset the apple cart, but a fellow with Crossblade Wheels and the really large tires doesn't recommend using in winter conditions. I kinda agree... it may be counter productive... even if you could find proper size all season...

If I had the $$ I would seriously think about the 15" Strikeline and Vredestein combo...

Why do you think it would be counter productive? Being in Vancouver our winter is not all that bad. Also I have rolled with 40series before and seen serious rim damage. You know it wil be now I said that. What is the Vredestein combo?

If you want something wider you can choose Vredestein 175 front and 195 rear and combine with a selection of rims that we carry. Models like Coreline, Strikeline, Brabus Type V, Brabus Type IV. Or even the Roadster steel rims.

Okay this looks like a good way to go. Now can I ordered these tires through you or seperate?
