I did Google before I posted to confirm if what I thought I was feeling could be from going to 19s. Car & Driver and Motortrend both have articles stating that is one of the main benefits of 19s. So, sure, you probably felt a difference with the stickier Winters, but you'd see a bigger gain still with 19s, I think.
Re: bumps. Went down a brick road today that my son and I drive on every day after I get him from school. Definitely felt bumpier.
Definitely a Sport. Good catch. I imagine they'll put it on any trim if you're willing to buy it.
I bet they're happy to sell it to anyone. (yippy) I was surprised they would put it on the lowest priced model without a buyer who ordered it. Seems like it would be more likely to appeal to a buyer interested in a higher trim/option level.
But if someone doesn't want the bells and whistles, but wants leather... what a great way to go. And not that spendy either.
"Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" reversed. Sharp.
It looks very nice, Chris. That is raised? (boom06)
The front is. Going to raise the back soon so I can run less reduce my camber without risk of scrubbing
What Brand/model of tires? Still looks great.
Is it really 12cm taller? Or you actually meant 12mm?Continental Sure Contact RX. I wanted 255/40/20 but that's a hard size to find on hand and I needed tires yesterday. I bought the closest they had in stock which was 255/45/20; 12cm taller than what I had. Never heard of the model but TBH as long as it was name brand I didn't care. I'd been running toyo proxes ST's for 3 sets and was very happy with the performance/durability.

Looks nice BTW!
You can't roll your fenders? I have never looked into this, but on my ex VW Golf V, there it was a metal tab for the plastic liner, that was screwed into. I could remove that screw and bend up that tab. the rubbing it was gone.
Maybe you can look into it, maybe there is an easier "fix" for rubbing.
Here is a picture:

Unscrew that screw, push up that metal tab and place the liner, on top of the bent up tab.
Not sure though, if this can be done with our cars, though.
I can and will be getting them rolled, however rn I needed to not cut up my new tires lol
