moved to the right section. how someone 280 + posts into the forum could miss the wheels/tires section with a wheel/tire question is beyond me.

This thread is all fail. You never posted your wheel sizes, you got too tall of a tire in the rear, and you somehow said you were lowered 1/2" in the first post but have s-techs that lower it 2 inches in your sig. I don't know what to say

So the rear is off 2.7% (too slow) from stock and the front is off 1% (too fast). Basically a near 4% difference between front and rear or around 3.5 MPH difference between front and rear at 60mph.

Also, why are you off 30MM like Kevin said? WTF. You have a 4 speed auto.

265s on stock rims without spacers and you look slammed and flush as hell? Do you know what those words even mean?

I vote for a purge or delete of this entire thread. The force is weak with this one.

He'll be back soon wanting to know why his traction control light keeps coming on.

Hope you have a 30 day moneyback guarantee in the event you want to return them and get the same size all the way around.
