Differences in tire shapes....

Alright guys here is a quick thread displaying how different two tires can look of the samesize and on the same wheel based on their strucutre.

I have 3 pairs of wheels all with 245/45/17 tires.
1st set is OEM SPORT Wheel 17x7.5 Kumho ASA Tires
2nd set is OEM SPORT Wheel 17x7.5 with Bridgestone Blizzak WS50
3rd set is ASA Revolution wheel 17x8 with Talon tires.

Take a look at the difference in height and shape in the following pictures... also note that the ASA looks to be 16" in diameter but notice how wide the 245 rubber looks.














Here is the car with the 18" wheels on..
