Stock height?

Yep, stock suspension - LR dual motor (non perf).

You gotta figure +33 is like running a 7mm spacer, and then with the 245 vs 235, its also going to give the illusion of more flush. That said, looks good in person. I can try to get a shot down the side so you have a better idea. And thanks! I kinda wish I went with a lighter gunmetal color, but the black looks really good when its all shined up.

Has anyone tried 245/40-19 on a 9.5 wide wheel? I don’t want a bugger contact patch and I need like 1/2” in height. 255/35 makes the overall height lower which what o don’t want bc of speed bumps.

Here’s a straight shot from before I lowered it. I don’t have any from after I put MPP comfort coilovers on.

thanks a lot....that helps. Wasn’t sure if 255 was gonna rub against the fender being lowered. I’m on T sportlines (inch or so) and if I needed a slight stretch. Wheels are coming in and don’t wanna rebuy tires if I guess wrong. How’s the wh/mi?

No problem. You’ll be good with the 255s.
Wh/mi for me took a big hit, but that was mainly because I started driving more spirited. I was averaging about 220 wh/mi with the 18” Aeros uncovered and now I average around 270. Again, I drive a lot more spirited than I was before. If I drive the same as when I had the 18” Aeros uncovered, I average around 240 wh/mi with my 19” wheels so about 10% range loss. Mostly, I am commuting ~120 miles/day in LA/OC area.

yeah I’m running spacers currently and averaging 260-270ish which I’m used to but don’t want to hit 300 lol
