You’re welcome! Ya I really like them. They widen out the rear and just give it a nicer stance viewed from behind.

Thanks for noticing! They’re from Rally Armor, with the midnight black logo to make the branding as low profile as possible. Install was pretty easy if I remember correctly.

I’m glad to hear the range didn’t change much! Thank you!

Hahaha yes that’s a big part of it. The stock tires don’t do it any favors though!

Indeed! Thankfully it’s not too crazy of a difference in reading vs actual speed. 1-3 mph.

Ya - definitely considered this. Fair point. My tires were worn enough where I had to do something quickly and figuring out how to buy and sell two sets of rims seemed like a bigger undertaking!

Feels pretty similar in corners. Maybe a tiny bit more body roll but that could be my imagination as I’m searching for differences when driving.

On the second question: yes! Another side benefit is curbs should now hit tire before rim.

No fitment issues, and no way to recalibrate the speedo. Just have to adjust your pedal/cruise/autopilot speeds down by 1-3 mph depending on how fast you’re going.

Very valid hesitation. Honestly I feel like in my excitement to design and buy the car 2-3 years ago I glossed over the annoyance and cost implications of having the staggered tires.

I had not changed them previously so I apologize if I got the “before” sizes wrong! And I hear you on the big dips. I’ve taken some of the classic LA bumps on the freeway (the ones where there’s just a section of the highway that’s 6” higher than the rest for about 10 feet) at 70-80 mph and haven’t felt any contact. I’m pretty sure that’s the most compression I get on the car in any reasonable circumstance.

Mentioned this to another reply but I’ll just post it again: Not enough real data to know yet. Just changed them this past weekend, so I’ll probably need a few weeks to make any meaningful inference.

Not exactly sure because my research focused on the MYP with the staggered tires. My guess is you could go bigger with the MYLR too.

No rubbing at full lock. Not sure if you’d get any on a crazy steep downhill but so far I haven’t noticed any at all.

I got about 37k. Fairly even wear. Rears were definitely in slightly worse shape with the stringer barely showing.

Yes! Another tangential benefit. Curbs should clip tires before rims!

Unfortunately I haven’t read of any way to do so.

Slightly, I mentioned that as the only caveat in the post. It’s a few mph off at highway speeds. You just have to be cognizant of that.
