Default 19" w/ Ltuned suspension?

I was wondering if anyone has 19" rims with the L-tuned susp setup. I hear the drop is very subtle and at times not noticeable. Is it a 1" drop all around? Some picts would definitely help. THANKS!!! By the way tread on the shoes are to be 245/35/19 (are these considered fat or skinny 19 setup?)

I'll see if I can dig up some pics. In the meantime, that tire size would be the "skinny" setup. Fat setup on 19s with 245s would be 40 series.

When you refer to Skinny and Fat, are you refering to the width of the tire's sidewall? What constitutes skinny (in your opinion), 35's or 30's?

Yup. The sidewalls. As for which series, it depends on the tire size since the height of the sidewall is only a ratio of the other tire size specs. If you are talking about the 245 tires, then 35 would be the skinny. If you are talking about 275, then the 30 would be skinny.

On the GS, I like the fat 19 setup a helluva lot better than the skinny. Go for the gordo!
