Finally took some daylight pictures. For the rears, I had to touch one tiny spot with the grinder towards the back. Literally 5 seconds of grinding. The front wheels are about even with the fender, and look perfect. Should have done this years ago.

Front tires are 205/50/17 Hankook ventus evo somethings. 60 bucks on closeout at Tirerack.
Rears are 295/55/15, local guy was selling the pair almost new for 250, couldn't pass that up. Rear tires are a tight fit on the inner wheel well, but I didn't have to clearance at all.

I would suggest clicking on the photos and zooming in to get better quality.

Good stuff man. Any ABS issues?

Yep, brake light and ABS inop come on as soon as I start cruising. I'm going to delete the ABS when I install a line lock over winter anyways.

So is it just the light, or does it do anything funky when you're driving?

The ABS false activates while coming to a stop if the light hasn't come on yet. But I pulled the abs fuse so its just on all the time, no problems. Just no ABS if I need it now.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do if I ended up getting a bigger rear tire than what I have. I had thought about going with a 325 size MT, but opted for the 275.

What causes the ABS light to come on? I feel like I should know this but I am drawing a blank.

different diameter tires cause it

Rise of the Phoenix

iTrader: (27)

Yeah, anything over an inch difference seems to trigger it.

ezzlez28

iTrader: (21)

Yeah the front tires are 25" and the rears are 28" roughly.

The car is lowered on Strano springs. I still have the rear rubbers on the springs as well.

Very nice.

Your fronts sound a touch short were you not able to find tire a little taller?

For anyone thinking about the 17x7s for a 5th gen, I run them on my car (I'm also a dealer). Friend came up with an all-season tire size that is 28.0 tall, 215/65R17. Fronts came in at 44 lbs, 62 is stock:

I wanted to keep them as light as possible, reason for the 205/50/17. They weighed 19 pounds each on the shop scale. I might get a taller one up front when they need repaved.

I've seen those before, just didn't realize they were called that. Not really a fan.
