Thanks bro, actually there is not much of a difference with the ride quality believe it or not..... it has to do alot with the Pirellis Zero Assimetrico tires.

these tires are the best in my opinion as far as looks and ride quality.

NICE, do they rub?

they did..... had to cut the wheel well a bit, with 26" wheels you really can't see the cut.

Nice......how are they in the snow?

don't know..... not much of that here in sunny California

Those tires are crazy thin, its hard to believe the ride is the same. What size rims will fit without cutting the wheel wells? 24's?

Looks awesome!


I debating on 24's or 26's and my concern is rubbing. Can you show pictures of where they cut your fender wells? Also, did you drop it or is that the stock suspension.

if you lower you will rub with 24 & 26.... no way to get around that, mine is lowerd, all you gotta do is trim the wheelwell and problem solved, not a big deal.... small price to pay for the "the look" and you can't really see it anyway.

I will try to post pics of the cut out later.

Chevere,

Do you happen to know the offset or backspacing on your 26" wheels? Also, what size tires did you go with? This information would be really helpful to solve the the rubbing issue with minor trimming.

30 offset..... 305-30-26

unless you go with a 9" wide wheel and smaller series tire, you are going to rub.

I am not sure why everyone is so affraid of a little trim.

if you really don't want to trim....... stay with 20's or 22's like everyone else

Chevere,

Thanks for helping me with my decision and I am going to go with the 26's, but now I have to start saving. If you can still post those pix of where the wheel well was trimmed, that would be very helpful.

LTZ,

Looks great! Hard to believe it doesn't affect the ride much.

Did you have any problem getting your TPM, ABS, etc reprogrammed?
