Unless my eyes deceive me aren't the tires facing the wrong direction? If picture 3 is still the passenger rear tire than you must be planning to drive in reverse alot. Sorry, not trying to be a jerk... I promise! Just curious if I'm seeing things right or wrong.

yes Paulo, you are right, you can fit 325/50/15 on the 1IS, but can you actually drive on it?

He probably just test fitted them. Its to close to the bumper for it to be driven. Unless he plans to not take sharp corners or hit any bumps in the road. It will destroy and melt the bumper.
