Really? They must not have been factory because I thought all V6's had 215's all around, GT's have 235's and GT500's have staggered 255/285s.

Mine originally came with 215's and the door jamb recommendation says 215/65/16

Hmmm

Yeah, its weird. I have the 17in rims that came with the PP, but I think they may be 225. I might be reading a typo on my snow tires install sheet.

Sorry to hear about all the awful encounters with cops, I've had some relatively good ones and bad ones. Once I got a flat driving my moms car and a cop pulled over to help (on the interstate) and was really friendly. Let me hang out in his charger (while AAA was changing my tire) which was pretty cool haha. That thing sounded SICK when he revved.
Pony Package wheels are 17x8.

Non-Pony Package equipped cars come with 16x7 wheels. I think... I know that the width is different. Can't remember if it's 7'' or 6''

I had a similar situation, could not prove it was the other guy who hit me, had to fix my car myself. I got a cockpit video-camera since... Good luck!!!
