Because with a tuner, you can compensate for a larger diameter tire out back. You probably went with a shorter sidewall because you got a wider tread width. With a tuner, you don't need to do that. You can update your tire revs per mile with the tuner, and put whatever tire you want on. You're right, the -.2" difference isn't enough to make a huge difference. You want something closer to 28" diameter to really fill the wheel well.

Personally, it just doesn't look right having a smaller sidewall on the rear. Front, maybe. But rear tires should look nice and "beefy". A 285/40 would look much better and fill up your wheel well so that your drop looked the same. Plus, it'd improve launching just a bit because you'd have more sidewall flex.

Thanks alot guys, That's the reasonwhy I love this forum.......I'm the kind of guy who's always second guessing everything I do. I just needed a kick in the A$$ to come to reallity. I was ready to take a grinder andshave some off my rear spring today, which I know is a no no. But after reading some of the comments, I'll keep her the way she is. There's never a day that go's by that someone is rubber necking or givingme a compliment's on how good it looks. Im sure you guys go trough the same. Peace Out

Leave it be, it looks excellent. How low does the Pro Kit drop the car? I forgot.
