What will it mess up? Traction. You're spending money to get less traction for a car that needs a lot more of it. I understand the concept of aesthetics and uniqueness, but to sacrifice performance and safety? Doesn't make sense.

Traction= Acceleration/Handling/Braking
Less Traction= Poorer Acceleration/Handling/Braking

EDIT: And there's a reason the sizes and offsets your looking at can only be found in the FWD section.

Rim is to skinny for 245 meat. It would be like putting 315s onthe stock rims. Don't do it.
Chuch!

agreed that you shold never run skinnier than stock. are you just looking to change your rims and get a cheap price or something? if so, it's not worth it
