Im on the same page as @RagnarKon. A local dealer to me has a 2023 $12k off just pick one of those up. Unless you like getting nailed with depreciation.
Ask yourself this, can you live with it the way it is right now? Or will you be able to live with it when the dealer resprays it and it doesn’t match? Personally I’d let it go. It’s not like it’s the outer door skin.
You’ll be extremely happy with it. I think I’m only down 1/2mpg after going with 37s. The shifting improvement is crazy no more lag at take off. Smooth as butter shifting and the power surprised me.
Change it and see if it helps. It’s only 1/4 of an inch larger. Did you weigh the new wheels/tires? The stock sas is around 89lbs. I doubt changing the size will get you your mpg back.
Ahh my bad. I thought you were using the procal to change out the size that goes by RPMs. If you don’t have one I highly recommend it. I have all the power back and then some with 37s.
Super weird, that shouldn’t have popped through the top of that hat unless the person you got the shocks from did a perch collar lift, and didn’t tighten that bolt all the way.
There should be a hat with a bolt that sits on top that holds the rod back. It either failed and pushed through or it came loose somehow. Still crazy. Did you have collars installed on it or a leveling/lift put on the coilovers?
