is it in my head?

i just went from stock 189's to 19's and it seriously feels like i'm riding dramatically higher. i mean i think it's only about 0.25" difference in diameter but it seems noticeably higher from the driver seat.

and for those who care...i am SO extremely happy to get away from RFT's. wow what a difference in road noise...the wider tires takes a little getting used to. something tells me i'm going to tramline like a mother on the freeway...

it's in your head... if you went 235/35 & 265/30's the overall diameter is very close from the factory 18'' set up!!

idk man i felt the same way. and places where i used to scrub my front lip i no longer scrub anymore. And i went 235/35 and 265/30 ..i know the size is abt the same but i mean if i dont scrub anymore where i used to then its obviously a little higher. And im lowered on eibach sportlines.
