My wheel and tire setup - need expert advise.

Thanks for the pics... I'll await the upcoming pics that are pending nicer weather. Has the stance become dramatically more aggressive with the added contact patch or has the visual agressiveness been subdued due to the relatively limiting 10" width in the rear wheels?

Pardon my run-on sentence.

It is subtly more aggressive. My car buddy at work here didn't know I was getting the tires mounted. When I showed up at work that day he looked at my car and was trying to figure out what I changed. He said the car looked more aggressive but he couldn't figure out what was different. So I would say that it does make a visual change but it's not one that is going to jump out at you. The sun is out today so I should be able to snap some pics even if there is still sand everywhere.

Update:

I will be doing the 275F and 305R as well. I'm probably going with a 9.5 and 10.5 setup. I'll take pics as I receive everything within the next 3-4 weeks.

Would you please snap some shots of the rear view while capturing the bumper and lights for visual perspective?

Much grateful.

I took some yesterday but they didn't come out well in the full sun with a white car. It's a little more overcast today so I will try again.
