seems a lot of the entrance ramps into shopping plazas have a .5"-1.5" mini "curb" before the ramp starts. they're freaking me out since 225/35 on an 8.5" rim leaves the rim lip vulernable, especially when the wheel is sharply turned. accordingly, i've been making really wide turns on approach so that i can get as perpendicular as possible to the mini-curb, but i think my behavior is confusing the locals. am i being paranoid?

Unfortunately in the Bay Area we have crappy roads, amazing considering the tax dollars collected...

even with this kind of an edge. Keep 'em well inflated.

ramps will be the least of your problems in the bay area and on its roads... :/

rash is almost always operator error no matter now low profile or now stretched your tires are.

i'm also on 225/35 x 8.5w but *hangs head* all my lip rash/damage is self inflicted.

ride height is more of a problem then wheels. unsolicited pulled fenders, uneven roads, stuck on speed bumps are just some of my problems.

I'm more scared of potholes than anything. I did hit the mother of potholes a couple years back (and so did a few other audiworld compadres)
