I do agree with this assessment actually. I have 245/40 on my 9.75 and it looks like I have 225 on them because they appear very stretched when they are not. I hope I get over it. I probably will because you only see it when you're actually looking for it I think. I think they're also very heavy. I did not expect to lose 3mpg going from a 8.75 xxr530 to these staggered on slightly stickier tires...can you confirm their weight?

According to NL Motoring they are only about a half pound more than the 527 or 530. If you have staggered though the wider rears could be heavier than the 8.75 and since those are the wheels that the car has to spin it could take more power to move them which would affect mpgs.
The Enkei i have now are 20 pounds instead of the 23.5 or so of the XXR. That was part of the reason for the swap also.
