All those times we drove i never knew your tires were 255's. If u want, mount up those bad boys and ill roll by and throw my spacers on and see what happens?
I think it all comes down to the Sports suspension, and how much of a forward lean it puts on the front. If you remember, when we lined up our cars nose to nose, the difference in height and nose dip was completly different.



In the picture you can see how even though you have 235 you still have about 2 to 3 fingers space between the top of the fender and tire. And on my 225s i have just about the same space. Now picture your 235 on my setup rims and suspension... Visually you can cut the space you see between my fender and tire by 50% Which equals about 1 finder's width + a tad more. (sorry didn't actually measure any of this) But ratio is still constant.
