But, again, as you're gaining a 1/2" of rim width, and the fact that the oem tire sizes look fairly stretched already on the oem wheels, when it does come time to ditch the fun-rats, go wider.
As you're in Edmonton, are you a member of the NABMWClub? Ever consider running the Alberta Advanced Driving School (likely the LAST school will be May 2011 as Race City Speedway is probably closing at the end of next year)...information can be found on the NABMWClub site.

All I need is them to fit, as long as the stock potenzas fit for now
I will worry about new tires later
I was assuming that the stock ones did because I tried selecting the same Bridgestones off TireRack and there appeared to be no problem.
But thanks for confirmation
