i have some 7" wheels i'm considering putting 225s on.... just don't want them to be too bulgy or squishy.

Drove on them for about 60 miles yesterday, didn't really notice any difference in handling. As far as being bulged out they stick out past the outside of the rim about 1/4". I think they look pretty good.

P.S. Love the new white rims!
 
I would think that the extra 1/4" of stick-out should help prevent wheel damage if you curb it.
 
Went to the dealer for the car rough idling and/or cutting off every time I put gas in.

First the service manager tried to blame it on my intake. I told him it was doing it before I put the intake on.

Then he said it was because I "top off" when I fill up with gas. I told him after the first click I just take it up to the nearest 50 cents, so at most I'd be putting in an extra 1/6th gallon. He said that would still do it. I explained that I had been doing that since I got the car over a year ago.

So I left, went to the gas station right down the street, filled up, stopped pumping at the first click, started car, bogged down, drove back, told him no difference. Finally he got a tech to look at the car. Got diagnostic codes that told him "bad gas cap." Who knew? (jerkit)

TL;DR - I got a new gas cap.
