No abs codes. Lotsa of people running staggard setup with no problems.

Dang, you were at Busse too! Car does look familiar.

I just measured the tires, I know the car is sitting on them but I'll be darned if they don't look to be 26.5 inches tall (my BFG Goodrich P235/50/18's). Definately not 28 inches!

I believe I looked at your car while there, not many with the fanblades on them.

The stock 18's should be 27.25" in diameter according to BFG.... and that spread sheet show's similar @ 27.3 (rounding)

The stock height is indeed 27.25, not 28. Going to a 25.7 height is a -5.7% change, effectively increasing your 3.55 gears to 3.75.

Agreed so the math is correct. The wife isn't on board with the rim purchase and those of you who are married know what that means. So how about this, 275/35/18 BFG Drag Radials on the stock rims and then I can worry about buying rims next year. They ask for a 9 inch rim and mine are 8.5 inches wide. Thoughts? I could go with the 265/40/18 BFG drag radials I guess, my brain is going to explode.
