That would explain it. There are scratches/dents all the way to start of the spokes.Originally Posted by danewilson77

I bought the wheels from Tirerack. Should I contact them?

BBS does that as well? Haven't heard of anyone outside of Apex doing it. Interesting!

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Thanks!ha. i realized it's actually running a larger tire already - stock diameter is 27.1", these are actually 27.7" (245/45/19 up front and 275/40/19 in the rear). if i keep these wheels i'll likely keep this tire size, otherwise i'll go down to 18's and run 235/55/18 (28.2" diameter... so 1.1" larger than stock).
as it sits, it's pretty quick and delivered 25mpg in mixed driving on our 2000km trip over the last 5 days. so that's a mega win-win. skinnier tires would help the fuel economy, and also i don't know if it really needs 275's in the back.
further to all of that... after putting 2300km on in the last week since picking it up, i've realized that it's a darn good handling vehicle... so i might not lift it at all and put 2" larger AT tires on it.it was great on our trip and my family loves it.
it IS going to get a bit of the ol' Slater Package though.some mounts need attention (rear diff and trans mount in particular), and i think i'm leaning towards putting FSDs on it!

You can also check if your credit card has any extended damage insurance on purchases made through that.

I love the idea of the 235/55/18 and FSD's. That thing would be so comfortable and deliver hella mpg's. The perfect family hauler (until you get bored, of course).

well, this thing is 4000lbs, so 275's aren't that nuts. they don't look out of place from the rear.
i mounted the 18" winter wheels (style 113's - 18x8 ET46), with their 235/50/18 snows and man, they look like 16's on a ZHP. tiny!
i need to get over my urge to modify this thing, but i DO have standards...
i also did a bit of poking around the suspension last night, and aside from tired shocks and one dying upper front control arm bushing (easy replacement), it's in good shape, and surprisingly clean.

Haha I don't think it's possible for you to not toy with a car so it fits what you like.
