Yes the overall tire diameter is larger. About 9.4mm or .4 inchs. After I wear these tires out I might run the 40's with a slight drop. But I like how it fills it in with the 45's. The pic I included of the closeup of the front wheel shows an angle that I like alot. The roundness of the front end with that tire size I think looks nice.

I agree. Replacing the black rubber makes a big difference on these cars. The sudans wheel well, especially the rear ones, seam a bit tricky. If you like to maintain an even distance between tire and fender it seems to help with the look.

Geewiz....look into the Tein H-Tech for the sedan. Thats what I got on my sedan. Drops it 1.4" in front and about an 1" in the back. It would work perfect with your set-up. Also you dont have to worry about camber issues etc, with the H-Techs. Just a suggestion.

Thanks Boon. Thats actually what I'd like to do is a bit of a drop, but without the camber issues. I'd like to close the gap up a bit but still keep it as even as possible around the tire.

DO you have any picks of your set-up with the H-Techs and the 40 series tires that I think you have on there. Also, were you able to align your car properly.

That heights about what i'm looking for. Looks nice. So I'm hoping you did'nt have any alignment issues.

ps If you get any new picks I'd love to see them.
