      As long as you run the correct size tires, the overall diameter will always stay the same.

                I replaced the linkage and they stayed like that. Maybe the park is adjustable, I have no idea. When I set them lower, they slam the bottom strip of the windshield. As they are now, they wipe down to the bottom, then return to their messed up position. :?

                On a side note, I had new brakes put on yesterday (Brembo/Pagid) and I mounted some Falken Azenis on the baskets. This car is a monster on the backroads. :shock:

                    I said correct size tires. A 195/65-14, 225/50-15, 225/45-16, 215/40-17, and 215/35-18 tire all have essentially the same diameter, which happens to be about 24 inches. So yes, you could run 24s if you really wanted to, but it would be awful bumpy without any tires.
