I was a bit surprised to have the rubbing issue myself, but it has more to do with the overall diameter of the tire than the width. It is such minimal contact that I drove it 15 mi. and barely put a dent in the tires. I'll try to get some photos later on in the week. Car is a bit dirty right now and...

I sure hope someone comes out with software to reduce the torque management off the line with these things. Would make for one heck of a fun ride! Imagine having the full potential of the motor with the updated gearing of a '15. Given the relatively limited market with these cars, I'm not going to h...

Dumb question..... what about wheel alignment ? I have trucks so this is a must. But with this kind of tire, would you need to align it more frequently ? It's always a good idea to keep the wheel alignment within spec. Opinions vary on how frequently this should be done. In THEORY, unless something...

Again, this has been common practice for years. I fail to follow what laws are broken and why legal action would be necessary. It is certainly not a defect.

Was it a poor design? Sure!

Is it unsafe? Nope!

This comes down to a case of buyer be ware, IMO

Just to update: I went ahead and ordered some 16x6.5" 45mm offset Kosei K4R wheels figuring the specs are similar to a standard Spark. Lucky for me, the wheels bolted right up, clearing the calipers and struts/suspension without any issues. I wanted to try taller/wider tires with high performance an...

I can't wait until I need new front tires so I can be rid of the OEM low rolling resistance tires, they seriously lack traction, which is a desirable trait in a tire. I expect to never rotate a tire on my Spark EV. I think I'm ok with the traction. But we had to replace one at 1K miles as it "poppe...

Look in to a product called Plastidip

Goes on like paint, peels of when you're done. Pretty easy to work with.

Any idea whether the fittest for a non-EV spark would work for the EV? I'm looking at some 16x6.5" wheels with some performance 205's as an upgrade to my Spark EV. Just can't leave well enough alone...

What are the rules for production class? As delivered from the factory? No wheel/tire upgrades?

Laguna is a fun track. Last time I was there in my race car I was popped for sound. Shouldn't be an issue in the Spark.
