Should how should the rotation markings be facing?
Should the point of the right triangle face backwards or forwards?

Just think of the direction that the tire rotates when the car is moving forward and the arrow should follow the same way.

I am thinking this should've gone on the passenger side instead | You should also check to see if the shop that mounted and balanced them at least mounted them correctly too. You wouldn't want all of the tires mounted exactly the same.
It also means you can only rotate your tires front/back on the same side rather than diagonal front/back.

I think I might just bite the bullet and get a set of 4 and ship em to Point Roberts.

and based from the "arrows/triangles" they should be pointing towards the front of the car.
does that sound right?

I am thinking this should've gone on the passenger side instead | The arrow points the direction the tire is supposed to spin when you are driving forward. In this case, the tire is facing the wrong direction.

Removed front and rear lips and went from 15x7, +30, 205/50's to 15x6, +40, 195/55 snows on my EG sedan DD. Slightly taller tires but wow, I was so used to rubbing the fender liner everywhere, it feels weird not hearing it anymore. I'll leave the race springs in for now and if it get's bad enough, swap them out for stockers or sport's or just take the truck.

darn- tried to swap them myself on the weekend and the rims were stuck/rusted on. I was afraid to hammer it off as the car was on a dinky scissor jack. Tried spraying with some wheel cleaner and waited, no luck. So looks like need to pay $30 to swap them at a shop like Kal T or something... The $30 12v power wrench from CDN Tire worked really well though, got the lug nuts off with no trouble.

Borrow a jack from a friend.
I ended up using a rubber mallet on my rear wheels, they were stuck on pretty good.

The play in the wheel, combined with the full weight of the car, will break the wheel free.
