I swear, it's like the car feels lower even though the tire change is <1% difference in height - so stuck to the ground

Here's some before(left)/after(right) pics - sorry the angle's aren't perfect, but you can get the idea

The tires are very square now - straight up and down instead of stretched like they were OE



The extra 20mm width acts from the outside like a 10mm wheel spacer



Here you can see in both the front and back there's a straight line between the top of the fender, the side wall of the tire and the rim of the wheel - basically completely flush



Lock to lock, no rubbing and I don't anticipate any issue at high speed with the car leaned over while autocrossing. I'm going to mount my GoPro pointed at the upper edge of the wheel and test to make sure - also to see if there's still enough clearance to drop it 0.7 in with H&R Sports.

And the tread looks HOT

Wow What a difference!! I love it!! got to get my 245's then
