Guys,

Just to focus a bit here: not lowered + wide tires = camber kit... yes? no?

(just not maybe so)

I appreciate all responses!

No, but certainly have your fenders rolled! Its very easy, and can be done for $150 at most, usually around $100...

It's like I'm talking to a second grader.

Thanks Alberto!

I have selected Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 summer tires in the following sizes:

295/35/18 rear

275/35/18 front

The diameters of each tire are both slightly less than stock (overall a bit less stagger, but hopefully not enough to throw off the VDC).

These tires are rated just below the PS2 but are over $100 less per tire.

Ok there Bri.You just like to chop,cut and rebuild other peoples statements so you can try to make them look like an *** and make yourself look like a hero.It is getting old.A perfect example is this last qoute by you were you took three different posts of mine, combined them altogether and then said I am like a second grader.BTW,if anyone is a second grader it is you since you are always on the attack
