I also have Detroit Speed uppers on my car...Their parts are some of the best in my book, in engineering, and quality. You can't lose with them.

Any reason why you didnt go with their kit all of the way around your car?
The credit card wants to come out!!
Do you think the upper tubular a arms are worth the extra money?

Speaking for Jeff, I know he would have used all DSE parts if he could have, but I know their catalog at that time wasn't as big as it is now.

Default About tiresizes

The profile of tires like 245/45 or 275/40 is a percentage of the width. So a wider tire like the 275 must have a lower percentage of the width to get the same height as a narrower tire.

What you should look for is the outer diameter, it is usually specified in the datasheet from the tire manufacturers.

My tires are 275/40X17 and 245/45X17 and they both have 25.7 inches of outer diameter.

You may also want to consider the Global West del-a-lum bushings for the springs. It gave me a reason to buy a 20T press!
