Got new rubber on the stock wheels today. Pro tip, when it's 95 degrees outside you should always pay attention to the direction arrows on the tires BEFORE you put them on and tighten the lugnuts, not after...
Have done that to countless motorcycle tires. It is rather annoying.

I love it when people are CERTAIN about something they've never seen. I've learned to never question someone's tire sizes people will make anything fit anything

With the rear H&Rs cut I did scrape in the rear with 275/35 on 20x9 +32 offset with a 1" spacer. I cut away some of the plastic in the fender liner, that's where it rubs. It still scrapes but barely and only on drastic bumps. I contribute any rubbing to cutting the H&R Springs.

I'll let you guys know how it goes with my new 20x9.5 with +34 offset and 1" spacers on 275/35 with rear H&R cut when I get the wheels and tires on hopefully by Friday evening.

I'm the exact opposite i spent 10 minutes searching every centimeter of the tires for rotation arrows when i put the summer set on the other day just to look at the tread and decide they must not be directional

Five years since I rolled it off the showroom and I’m still learning. We stopped for gas at my favorite top tier station. But the flipper door inside the filler neck wouldn’t open when I pushed the gas nozzle in. I thought it was jammed so I kept hitting it harder. Finally with my short temper, I needed gas and started jamming it violently. Suddenly it finally opened and I filled up while thinking about the failure and if I’ll need a complete filler neck assembly. When I finished, I tried inserting it again and again it wouldn’t open. Even though I have B2B in effect, I started pricing the unit anyway when I got home. Then I came across the same problem on someone’s you tube video. Turned out to be that the gas station put a smaller diameter nozzle probably from a diesel pump on that particular pump. The correct diameter is required to hit 2 buttons inside the tube to unlock the flapper. The usual fix is to move to a different pump with the correct nozzle. Last resort would be to use the funnel that came with the car.

Good to know. Thank you for that.

The diesel pumps here are bigger nozzles.

The diesel nozzle is actually bigger so you won't put it in a gas vehicle. The same reason for unleaded vs leaded size difference (you whippersnappers know what leaded even is?)
