my cousin does and like what he does is he cut a square around the inspection sticker so basically there a square cut in the tint for him to easily remove and put a new one in the exact same spot

Man, I can't wait for the front wheels to show.

Why? Are the 275s too stretched?
I've been debating between 275 or 285 in the back. It was between looking stretched with the 275, or have rubbing issues with the 285s.
I ended up ordering 285/30 Yokohama S.Drives, should be in this week. I have 255/35 for the fronts already.

JK,

Love the new car... and nice tints.

How much to do the tints?

Unfortunately, in Chicago we have cops who pull us over for front tints. I was thinking 15 in rears, 35-50 for fronts, and leave the windshield stock.

Cost me $280 total. I think the windshield was $80 of it, so $200 for the rest.

OIC.
255/35 According to their site, recommended for wheels 8.5 to 10 inch wide.

The difference in overall width between 245/35 and 255/35 is only 0.4 inch.
Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

Can you tell the difference between the 10% and 20% from outside by looking at it?
