Reason for 225

225's aren't really a choice, but a necessity. People complain about the rear rubbing while carrying passengers/heavy loads. With tire stretch, this does not come in to question. A stretch allows the quarters to be well past the tire (no gap) without providing a harsh ride or rubbing.

you can run 255/35 or 245/35 without any rubbing.

any stretch tires stiffens up the sidewall which eliminates sidewall flexibility and creates a harsher ride.

Not sure if it is due to the lens, but what is going on with the passenger side headlight and the huge black area (gap?)???

Its a separate lens! It just sticks to the phone with a magnet. There are a bunch of good deals on ebay but don't get the ones that are too cheap, because the quality might be off.
