If you scrutinize the external pictures of the car over time, you might notice that the tires seemed to get smaller shortly after the car was returned to the road.
That's actually true. But, as of this weekend, the original, correct, tire sizes are back on the car and thanks to the fender rolling (and maybe alignment), there's no rubbing and no interference.
It looks much better.
The correct tire sizes are - 275/40-17 F, 315/35-17 rear.
The old tire sizes were 255/40-16 F, 275/40-17 rear - I bought the small tires for the front and moved the fronts back.
The bigger tires look MUCH better. The tire sidewalls are both vertical again. Yay!
I know, you say: " that's all you did this weekend?" Yup. That was actually a huge PITA - I dropped the spring seats and moved the suspension through it's entire range of motion to check for interference. And, while I had the tires off, I scrubbed the crap out them to get them shiny and black again.
