Good to know!
Has this happened to anyone else with the F1s or any non OEM tire set?
After mine were installed, I noticed my car (fender wells) was sitting higher off my wheels than the previous set. After driving around a bit, they did settle down, but they still sit a few inches higher than normal. Looks... odd to me. Makes me start to think about getting the car lowered. I'll see how it looks again when I get to Kanas City tomorrow.
