I have 295-35R18 I am running H&R Sport Spring also. I wish the car sat about 1/2 an inch lower all the way around.

+1 works out nice if you load it down for a trip you just adjust it up.

275/40/18 would be about one inch bigger in diameter...

And, jack up the rear another 1/2".

why the hate? XB is stating the truth when going to your 1" taller tire.

I'm really sorry that you think getting rid of a 4X4 fender-tire gap and replacing it with ground clearance rivaling my F250 FX4 is cool.

Are you 16 years old?:23:

yes they are on backwards... you can install a larger diameter tire... but then a gear change will be in order to get the power back

lower the car

No the tires are not on backwards. I'm 32 and do all of the work on my car myself "unlike others on the board". So before you continue to give your constructive criticism ask the simple question of whom am I really typing to. Is it really necessary to thread jack anyways? Pure board-em is a *****, find a habit.. I was asking a simple question..

Not tryin to be a **** but look real close at the right rear tire in the first pic. it is backwards.

the mud grips was a joke, I think your going to have to either get some adjustable lower control arms or rear lowering springs. I dunno what springs are on it now but it looks like my buddys mach he used FRPP C springs up front and stocks in the rear.

did you remove upper and lower iso's in the rear. that'll drop you what 3/4 of an inch

the pass rear tire is backwards..

maybe someone rotated the rear tires on an uni-directional tire.

+1 remove an iso.

+1 the rotation arrow implys the primary direction of rotation, and should be pointing towards the front of the car. So in a nut shell the passanger rear tire is on backwards. Not to be an ***, just helping out.

I changed them around long ago, that is why I posted a pic saying that it is fixed. I noticed it when I originally put them on over 2 years ago..
