That's at least an inch taller than stock right? 26.3"? What is stock size? 165/75 would be 24.8"

Stock 165s are pretty much 25" tall. The metric R series I think is about equivalent to a 78 series. A lot of the cal look guys run a 26" tall tire, like a 205-70.

Advantage T/A

I've run a 205/65 and a 195/65 in the past. This time around I went for the 205/70 to lower the RPMs for highway driving. It also depends on gear ratios, so it's hard to say a tire is "wrong" solely based on overall height.

Awesome, should have wheels back tomorrow and will pick some tires up then as well.
