Also keep in mind your ride quality will be negatively impacted by the lower sidewall height. I'd say not worth it just to look SLIGHTLY cooler but I'm definitely not a stanceboi either!

Presuming 255 width tires, the sidewall height will vary by a 1/2". Most people wouldn't notice that. Some would, most wouldn't....

Have the dude mount 35s on one side and 40s on the other and you compare.

Would it add 1/2 inch at the bottom and 1/2 inch at the top?

Or would it be 1/4 inch bottom and 1/4 inch top?

1/2" at the bottom and 1/2" at the top. Sidewall height (the 35, 40, etc number in the tire size) is from the 'outside' of the rubber to the 'wheel' edge

255mm * 0.039 = 10.04"
10.04" * 35% = 3.5" or 10.04 * 40% = 4"

Total tire height ?
19" + 3.5" + 3.5" = 26" (35 series)
19" + 4" + 4" = 27" (40 series)

Is that a phone mount on your steering wheel? Interesting. Love the tablet mount though.

Looks like an audio-related remote-control type device. I think I see "+ -" buttons (up/down) for volume (??) and "< |> >" for previous track, play/pause, next track.
