Yes it does but it's not that bad. I had 20s and didnt like the ride quality and the idea of less rubber contact. I didnt want to get 285/25/20. These VMRs are not bad. Feels lighter than the stockers 
Btw, looks great Jon. But pictures never do justice, have to see it in person.
The Matte grey / base coat looked kind of cool, but matched too much with the color of our car.
How come not matte black?

Great job! Looks much better than the chrome.
Should fit perfect with your cars color!

looks good!
FYI...that Dupli-Color clear will yellow after a good year or so. I painted a set of wheels on one of my other cars in graphite, then cleared....and the clear yellowed on them. Wondering if it was from the heat from the brakes or something....hopefully you'll have better luck than I did
