Yeah, I like the width though...
I did notice the drop in ride height as well... and alot of people have mentioned while riding "Man this thing sits really low".

Yes, my tires are on the stock rims. I do not have any pictures yet, but I can take some later today.
No, the bad mileage started around 2 weeks ago, and the tires have been done for well over a month now.

Lately Ive been getting horrible gas mileage. Now Im not one to complain about mileage, because I bought a sports car not an econobox, but its just getting ridiculous lately.... I used to get 20-22 mpg, with mixed driving, and that included me getting on it and having fun at times as well. But for the last 5 or 6 fill ups Ive been getting around 12-14 mpg, and thats driving like a granny.... could my tune be so rich that Im losing massive amounts of fuel through the exhaust and getting horrible mileage or should I be looking for other problems like a possible fuel leak or something? Im getting all my mpg info from the computer, and while I know its not perfectly accurate, I find it hard to believe that it could just be 10 mpg off. I also reset it every time I fill up. Any info is appreciated, and asap too. Thanks.

Wow... yeah yours is slightly worse than mine lol. Im just really curious why its doing it. When I first start my car up, before I get in I smell the premium... ALOT. Thats why I was wondering if I might be running rich, because I can smell gas when the car is running, but I have no visible leaks. Not sure if maybe it just uses a little extra gas when it first cranks up or what...?
