I would expect it to feel much like jogging in Cowboy boots.

The tall sidewalls give a lot more cushion. Making a smoother ride. The wheels are 15" compared to the previous 17" wheels so they are actually lighter weight. I was expecting the worse, but very surprised when I drove it for the first time with the tall tires.

I ended up ordering the 4 tow-eye adapters from littlebigsupply. They are always helpful and knowledgeable. Not sure why I didn't do this before. A metalworker friend of mine is fabricating bumpers for mine. Don't have a design laid out yet. I will work around the mounts and lights I have to install in them. Keeping it simple. I'll post photos when it comes to fruition..

Thanks! I see them now at the bottom of the parts list on the website.

Curious lifting it, does that throw out your tire alignment? What type of lug bolt
adaptor are you running there? How your driving range now?

I believe LilBiggie said he uses custom made spacer/adapters from here...Tire Shop Supplies

I'm playing around with my 3d software on the front/rear bumper design. Early prototype.

Violet tabs in the model are for fog/driving lights. 1-1/2"wd x 2-1/2"lg should do.

I like it!

The larger diameter tires make acceleration slower, but top speed higher. Being electric drive it is still not slow.

It looks really nice. Did it require any fender cutting?

Yes it will. I am just finishing mine. 215 75R 15's 2" lift. I had to tub the front wheel wells cutting 2" out of the unibody.

Yes, There was lots of cutting involved. Fenders are plastic so pretty easy. But the sheet metal behind the front tires was a little more work. The biggest challenge is cutting the right shape, smoothly so it looks nice. Being that my car is Black, it is a little more forgiving if there are imperfections..

It's just a wheel well.
