Yup, I am. They fit but keep in mind that you'll be about 4%+ in rolling diameter......
To keep it consistant with stock, you'd need to go with 245/35/18's. I went with the 40 profile as I didn't want a punishing ride. It's fine on a stock suspension but I may rub when lowered. The 92's were lower to begin with so you may want to go with the 35 profile to be safe. Which tires are you looking at?

The higher %, the more strain you're putting on the drive system, it was geared....
to work within the design specs. I can notice a little difference with my set up. My car is quicker off the line with my winter set up which is the correct rolling diameter.

yup, he is using Nikon Coolpix:-)
I am using 2.1 Canon A40, which is good, but not good enough:-) It needs more megapixels and a better lens hehehe:-)
However its not only about the camera, when he shoots his pix he also makes sure that he has good lighting:-)
Next time when I 600$ to spare I'll get sometihg like that ;O)
We're gonna have pretty good equipment this Saturday at the PNW pizza meet!

You say the '92's were lower .....
You say the '92's were lower ..... mine stands at 27.25" from ground to underside of the front wheel arch. [vertically through the middle of the wheel].
How does that compare with others?<ul><li><a href="http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk">http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk</a</li></ul>
