They will fit, they are also too tall, at 31.5" compared to the stock 28.5". Your speedometer will be off by more than 10% (example, reading 54mph when you are actually at 60mph). It will also affect acceleration... not sure how noticeably though.

I found Toyo Proxes S/T 295/45-18 at King's Discount Brake and Tires in El Monte, CA for $210.00 a piece and $45.00 to ship to a business address in St. Louis. E-mail Jean-Paul at kingstireandwheel@yahoo.com. It takes him a few days to respond. Tell him Dale (Lemay50) sent you. I promised him I'd send him business when I could.
I drove these in the rain last night and they rock! I will never buy another F1, even though mine lasted 30,500 miles. Besides, they want $330.00 a piece for them in St. Louis.
Check his price on other tires too. Just spread the word.

You guys are killing me with the major miles you got on your F-1's. Mine have 6200 miles on them and they're shot. I don't think I can possibaly make it through my first winter with them.
Soon I'll have to make the New Tire decision, they have to hook at the track, thats all I know
