I had a ZR1 drag pack wheel/tire combo from them as well, and it worked awesome. The set ended up getting stolen unfortunately. I had the MT 345 rear tires. The car didn't even seem to mind if I ran those with the stock front wheels and tires on it IIRC. Aside from a TPMS light after some time.

no issues with codes ? Abs traction control ?

Agreed, I bet he's the same guy that would tell you to search the forum as opposed to starting a new thread...

I can never understand why one would bump a thread that is 4 yrs old no matter how good the thread is. More importantly if you looked you would see that the OP has not been on this forum since 2015...

Well, I would indeed tell you to start a new thread most especially when the OP has not been active in 3 yrs... therefore he cannot provide and feedback.

Here's an idea... Perhaps you 3 can chat amongst yourselves...

I believe the variance can be up to 3% so that you won't trigger ABS to freak out

I believe with HP Tuners you can reset tire diameter OD and solve the problem correct?

Would be nice to know how this setup works
