Hey Turboman I just ordered those Mystiks with a 35 offset and will get them on late this week. Hope everything goes okay. Do you think the offset is okay? Also after putting on plus size wheels do you think Alignment should be done. The guy told me you should. Can't wait to stick them on a see what they look like

Muskie-

the general results for a +1/+2/+3 tire/wheel mod is that ride quality (smoothness) decreases in adverse conditions or in other words harshness increases in this situation (due to smaller side wall to accept/absorb/cushion road irregularities, perf tire upgrade, etc.)

if you are fortunate to travel on well maintained roads, +1 to +3 mods may yield minimal degradation of ride characteristics

hope this helps

I'll post the pics this weekend. I am using some 225/40/18 Kumho tires which are a soft compound.

You would definitely need alignment with those H&R springs. I'll have to verify my offset again. I paid about the same for my set, with the shipping included.
