Theres 2 reasons for the tall tire! Ill tell you the one I tell everyone first because it makes me look intelligent. And then Ill tell you the real reason haha!
#1. Because when Im going through the traps in the 1/4 mile I am in 4th gear at 5700 rpm (redline) so with the taller tire I can get a little more distance out of ever gear.
#2. I ordered the wrong size tire
HAHAH! I should have gotten the 305/35/18.... But I messed up on the phone with discount tire and ordered the wrong ones ! :thud:

At least the tire still fit in the wheel well. Next time you can order a different size. :thumbsup:
Well since I rarely ever go to the track anyways... I think Im going to ditch the drag radials anyhow... Go for a set of 19's with low pro street tires on them when I get the $$$... They will look better fit better and I wont keep getting a service ABS and Service ASR system light

19s would be sweet. They arch with the fender lips perfectly. Heres a couple pics of my car. There old but, i recently painted the roof,b-pillar black, and tinted the windows black. My rims are 19" maya's, 3 inch lip in the rear, 2" in the front.
