Bought them brand new, and have about 50 miles on them. The “nipples” are still on the tred.
paid $600 for both. Will sell them for $500. They are a 27" tire. Having the front wheels being on 17’s, it makes my abs system go nuts, and it drives me ape shit.

yah. I personally think the car looks funny the way its sitting. It has a good amount of “tilt” to it.
The fronts are 17" wheels with a 275-40 and the rears are 18" 305-40. Its a 27" tire out back and around a 25" up front.
if I cant sell them I will pull the ABS fuse but I hate how the car acts with no abs, not to mention my traction control no longer works with no abs as well.

It’s called rake, not tilt and I’m really surprised your ABS is being such a bitch about it. Traction control was the dumbest feature ever put on that car anyway.

traction control has actually helped a few times during torrential down pours on my car. Especially when I was down and myrtle beach and would start hydroplaning. One big reason why I got this 12 bolt, was because it kept my abs and tcs. I didnt want my dash lite up like a christmas tree.
and yes rake, thats what I meant. At the time I couldnt think of the correct word. Maybe I will post up a pic tomorrow. I almost feel like its too much tire for the car on motor and it “struggles” to pull it.

calibration wont fix the abs and tcs issues. Its the fact the pcm goes wacky because of the difference between the front and rears.

Put a taller front on it-decreasing the height of the rear tire is a dumb idea in your case.

I already thought about that, and honestly I dont know if I can pull that off. My front tire is almost touching my front fender as is.
old setup with the 26’s. Fronts as is, are coming close.
