San Bernadino county is a huge county to include Bear Mountain and other places that see snow in the winter. Ohh, I lived in various counties in SoCal for 20 years. I just put that out there to upstage your 9 years.

and a bigger tire on a narrower wheel isn't FTW.

go to 8" and a 245 and be happy.

please don't buy some crap wheels, you don't own a sentra anymore.
