I think it is exaggerated a bit too because I went with falken 452's. I'll try to take some pictures today or tomorrow of the actual gap from tire to lip.

No problems so far but I really haven't been driving it much since I got it back since I needed to fix the ride height and get realigned and I can't get the alignment until I drive 190 miles back up to san jose. I will be adjusting the ride height today and then wednesday I'll have to drive it back home so I can give you an idea on the feel then. But so far from the little I've driven it actually feels better than my old combo (front tire was getting towards the end of its life).

Please let us know how it goes. Your tires are pretty stretched so I'm wondering about driveability and general impressions from a normal enthusiasts perspective, as opposed to those SoCal guys that run crazy setups like it's nothing.

Haha well I drove it about 190 miles up the 101 with one tire at -5 degrees of camber due to shops near my house at school not having the knowledge to fix it. But the ride wasn't bad, but I just got aligned and will be driving back down this weekend and can let you know.

its all in the tires man

i'm running a 275 in the back like O Hella is and i'm poked out in the back but since Xet has 255's its more pulled in

thats why some of the crazy guys go with like -5 camber and 225's on their rear tires to get their wheels to fit hahahaha ex: DonPisto

Yup just the skinny tire, I'm probably going to end up putting some spacers on the rears
