I've run the 10" AOO8 yokos on Sedan rims for the past 10 years....
put new Kumhos on Coupe wheels for show, until finally landing new Yokos which are mounted on yet another set of Coupe rims and use them for show only.

> So based on your original message (below, bottom of thread), are you saying that you put *A008s* on your car?

If you did install A008s, how has the fit worked out for you?
