Nope, Caltrans calls them "rain grooves". What you are indicating nasphere are commonly called "semi tracks". Those are hard to get out of because it seems the track of the Insight is exactly the same width between the inside measurement of the semi tires (in track width.) The worst ones I've seen are in Oregon. All I try to do there is put one side of the Insights wheels (Prefer pass side) in the groove and let the other side ride on the crown between the "semi tracks". The vehicle will have a habit of trying to pull to one side or the other, dpending on which side in in the grooves.

What about installing the 15mm spacers? I could be a good compromise?

You'd have to look at the back of your OEM wheels and see if there are pockets for the original studs to stick through, otherwise you won't be able to bolt on the wheels to the spacers unless you cut off the original studs to be flush with the spacer.

ok, you say that with 25mm it is really even? Cannot put anything less that 25mm?
