Yup same here. I got the exact same tire and size on my stock GSR rims. No issues here either. I didn't know 225's would be able to fit on a 8.5 inch wheel, but it works. I'm just looking forward to a snowfall so I can test them out.

I'll post a review after the first snowfall.

OK, two snowfalls later: I have never driven anything that performs so magnificently in the snow as my X with the above mentioned Blizzaks. The car really hauls ***.

The car accelerates hard, steers decently, drifts very controllably, and stops harder on ice and snow than anything I have ever driven.

I love this set-up!! I can't wait for a blizzard.

you gotta enjoy all the season with the EVO! with my lm-22s...

it's not even fair to other cars on the road; thats how i feel. they probably think i'm crazy, which they're proablay right, but i'd rather get some distance from these people.

i'm not kiding when i say i enjoy driving on the snow as much as the road during summer.
