Those 285s bfgs make those nittos look like 245s. I cant even tell the difference in height from the 275s and 285s in your pic.

If you go to tirerack.com and look up the tires you want, then click on specs, it'll give you the width, height, etc. Of course, they don't carry some tires, but for those they do, you have all the comparison info you need.

I'm pretty sure it did. I think someone else from Denmark or something posted that those added lights/reflectors are required in Europe.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I didn't even know they sold any F-body's over seas. I assumed nobody would want them cuz all the European type people I have any contact with thinks my car is POS cuz it's too heavy and ugly blah blah blah type stuff. They are too much into being anti american to just give a compliment. lol
