    Very cool!! Good looking tire, what size are they?
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    They're 285/60-18s....Richard, if I recall, you aren't lifted either, right? Is this the same size you're running? Any rubbing?
    I just noticed my one pic shows a darker rubber all along the shoulder of the rear tire, like it rubbed on the inner fender....gotta go check that out.......

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    Mine are 275s. I think you're fine, if it was rubbing you’d definitely hear it.

    Hey Kat, did you replace the rear springs on your VX to be able to run those tires? I assume you cranked out the torsion bars.

    Neither. Stock / original springs and didn't touch the torsion bars as I wanted /needed it to stay as low as possible so I can get in it...(leg problems). I even kind of worried about the 1.21" increase from the tires, but I can still manage it.
