That is a tall tire to run on such a drop
The OEM sizes are 25.6" and that tire is exactly 2" taller. This means, you will pick up 1" of ride height and an equal amount less clearance around the fenders. You will also need to address speedo/ODO accuracy and be a bit higher final gear ratio as well. I would NOT run that tire on your car
What are your needs as a driver, as they need to be considered prior to the purchase of new tires?
