    Hi Rusty - Do you know offhand what the height value of your tires is?

      The fronts are 25.3" in dia
      The rears are 25.7" in dia

      I have no idea how that compares to the factory dia.

        Nice set-up by the way! I see my question wasn't quite right. I need to clarify...

        I am referring to the sidewall aspect ratio, or the "55" in this example - -235/55R17 on your car. Looking at Salguod's pix and comparing to yours, yours appear thinner but could be just the different angles.

          Ah, I figured you meant tire dia for gearing, etc.

          The fronts are 245x45x17 and the rears are 275x40x17, so I am running a staggered setup, which I seem to always do.

            Factory tires were tall:

            800-14 - 27.58" dia.
            850-14 - 28.10" dia.

            Those numbers are from Cooker Tire's website listing of bias play tires.
