Called John and II MUCH. VERY helpful and nice guy. He thinks I just overfilled the gas. Just need to vent the fuel cap and run it for a bit to run some of the fuel off and see how we're doing.

I forget which size tires I had on the Torque Thrusts. I wanna say 185/50/17...But I'm MAYBE 50% sure on that.

Wanted to finish this questions out. The shape of the tank on the top is made to that the pump, vent and sending unit are a little lower that the top of the tank. Therefore, if you fill the tank completely and the gas expands as it gets warmer, it has nowhere to go but out the vent. It also results in pressure in the tank. Long story short...don't fill the tank ALL the way full.
