I like the set up. What is your impression of the tires so far?

looks awesome, i recommend you run a 15mm spacer in the rear though, that would really set it off imo.

I like the non-rft hankooks. I have about 50 miles on them right now. I have an ever so slight vibration, but I do not know if it is the tires or the wheels.

When they balanced my left front wheel they said that there was slight left to right movement in that particular wheel and tire.
There is a red dot on the left front tire and if I am not mistaken, this is where there is a low balance point. (I am not a mechanic).

The vibration is not discernable by anyone but me and there is no vibration in the steering wheel. I will probably get a rebalancing at my next free oil change just to make sure everything is kosher.

Anyhow, the non-rft ride is superb. bumps are barely noticeable like they were in the rfts. I have yet to do any real cornering so I will update on this later.

As far as spacers, I agree but this is good for now. Such an improvement over stock.
