Increasing sidewall height on stock Rays

Chan Chee Hoe · 10-27-2013, 06:27 AM

Higher ,side wall means bigger diameter,also much heavier...blunts the car's performance....anybody weights how much weight 275/40-19.?But the good thing is more comfortable ride.

First, raising the rear with bigger tires. Doesn't that put even MORE weight on the front of car?
Second, I used to like to drive fast on country roads. I left my car's suspension 100% stock, just got a bit wider & better tires all around. The car handled great without it being a scoop for scraping up road kill. On my old 350, I installed 17" wheels with bigger/wider tires front & back. Result=a good stance with plenty of rubber for a smooth & great handling experience.

I don't understand how anyone can enjoy their car when driving it over a small rock or a piece of wood will tear the front & underside of the car.

I don't get it when I see people guiding the driver just to drive up a driveway

I have only one picture (the rear)in my home page. No spacers & the car looks tough & clean looking. I wish I had more picks. Maybe later.
