    my pearl avant after new tires

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    tires are sumitumo htr zIII in a 235/40/18 (35psi) sitting on a 18x8.5 inch work w-its wheel with a 32mm offset. I tried to get some different angels so you guys can see the way they sit. I dont know how high the car is off the ground, however i want to say its 25.5 all the way around. i want to lower it to 25 all the way. well see.

    HERE are the pics.

    I like them a lot. You car is beautiful as well!

    With that offset you may not want to go lower... you will have rubbing and contact with the fenders, especially in front, on big bumps, turns when you hit a dip in the road, or coming in and out of your driveway.

    Re: my pearl avant after new tires

    Do you have them on the right way, I would think rotation would be opposite of what you have?

    Re: my pearl avant after new tires

    Looks very nice! For real world driving your height is probably about right. If you want to go lower you might want to look into rolling the fenders first. Very clean ride!

    I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I was just offering some advice. I had my car to low to begin with and rolled the fenders but I still raised it back up some. I like your car the way it sits now. Great looking car. Streets in Indy SUCK! I have no clue where all the new revenue from our recently raised property and sales tax are going but it's not into road repair!

    The HTR ZII seem like a fine perfect for my needs and there only $95 a tire, thus saving around $90 which I need due to my limited income as a Senior in HS.
    How do you like them?

    Ya, Sumitomo tires are porbably teh most under rated tires out there. They relate with tires double its price . I talked to Doc@TR, and he said only during "track like temps" would you notice the difference between the II and III...Im not doing track days.
    Good pick
