There you go

That looks better. The gap was way smaller when I had the LS wheels on. That's why I was confused when I had these mounted.

Your new wheels and tires have a smaller overall diameter than the stock setup. The stock LS wheels and tires are 28.6" tall overall (Stock SS/RS is 28.68") and yours are 27.86" with that tire (a difference of 0.74"). So that will add about 1/3 inch more to the wheel gap.

Aah. Makes sense. I think I'm going to look for 1.4" springs then

That would shrink the gap. I couldn't imagine driving on springs that low though; it's hard enough on 1.2" springs as is, lol.

This makes sense.. I didn't pay attention to his tire size. Well that sucks.. Next time get 45 instead of 35 lol....

You're right. I forgot I have a splitter I need to install. Going lower probably won't be a good idea.
