wider tire side profile shots

One thing that needs to be considered here is not the actual tire displacement or springs really, but the actual make of tire. Some tire brands may give you more of a gap than others if you are running the same size tires (265/35 & 305/30). For example, if both of you are using Eibach springs to lower your ride, tire size is 265/35 & 305/30, and one of you has Hancock tires and the other person has Michelin tires. The Hancock tires will have more of a gap than the Michelin tires. I’m just saying…..

I see what you're saying. I used the tire upsize calculator at 1010tires.com, which I just realized gives you the actual height of the sidewall for a specific size you're looking into.
