They are the stock IS-F sizes and the circumference is nearly identical... thus no issues with the AWD system.

All tires are Continental DW. The DWs have been fantastic for me.

I noticed it once at cold start-up while in-gear, a few days ago. It was ever so slight... but I did have a bit of it before the RCAs.
However, I have not noticed it since.

I'm very happy with the results. I have noticed that the turn-in is sharper than without the RCAs.

May get an alignment check soon to see where everything moved to. It would make sense that it would need an adjustment, but maybe not. Anybody have experience with this?

Absolutely zero shaking.

After your comments about the Ichiba spacers, I was not going to risk it.

I talked to Adaptec about the V2 style bolt-on adapter/spacer and they were totally cool with making them for me.

The fitment was perfect. I'm super happy with their stuff.

Thanks again, btw.

Any time you alter suspension geometry, an alignment check is advisable.
