sport... non-sport... the only difference is the height of coils. most people with the non-sport susp find they have a bit more clearance up front when using the 235/40 tread because it clears the liner just behind the reflector a bit easier. if someone were to use a "square shouldered" 235/40 on sport susp, there is a chance of rubbing... if you're concerned, use 225/40 instead. since VMR uses an 8.5" et40 on their VB3 instead of an et35 like they do on their damn-near-everything-else, there shouldn't be any issues. keep in mind you'll need an alignment anyway, as increasing to an aggressive offset will yield toe-out up front. if there are (there won't be) any clearance issues, the front camber can be corrected at that time.

OP - sorry for the sidetrack... but one must answer when the president () asks questions!

speaking of which... how did you get to be president? do you have a cabinet? what kind of duties do you perform? i don't know what district i'm in, where do i go to vote? where do you stand on canada's southern border, and its current needs for a very tall fence to keep out all of us roudy american?

(all rhetorical of course... i just like that we have a president!)
