285/50/20 Nitto 420S, supposed to be 31.25" tall, but they're a hair under 30.5" tall mounted with the weight of the truck on them.

How many miles do you have on them?

My 22s I bought came with 420s and I love them so far. Was just how they perform with some miles on them.

17k miles give or take, seems they hardened up somewhat after about 10k, but they wear nicely and last decently well even with all the track usage they used to see.

Tyler you the man! I went and got some new tires 285/50/20 and the fit is much better. I didn't get the Nittos, but the ride is much better as well. Thanks dude.

I was really liking the stance today in the parking lot so I snapped a quick pic.

Here she sits on 285/50/20 (after TylerBs suggestion). Night and day difference.

Tyler I'll look to cutting down those front bump stops after this weekend. I'm headed down to Long Beach and as long as I don't have and clearance issues I'll bring it down farther.

Thanks bro I'm happy with. Came out to be a 3/4 drop. I wanted it level but I'm actually pretty happy with the rake for right now. Will see what how much lower I cam get off the front bumps. Maybe another half inch all around.

Wow dude! Looks great! I kinda like a little rake. Don't drop the rake (pun intended). :)
You are gonna be passing right by my hood on the 405! Did you find a dyno in the LBC???

I haven't. But I'll be going to Edelbrock for a tour of their facilities. I will see how "friendly" they're.

I'm going with a buddy wHo has a stage 3 built GTR. We are going to stop by the shop that does his work SP Engineering. They do some pretty high end stuff.

My buddy ran at the Airstrip Attack in Coalinga, CA in April. He ran 193 in the half mile. Pretty impressive.

Yea that's the one. My buddy's shop also had their "Godzilla" GTR go off the road as well. Luckily nobody was hurt in either incident.
