Very cool, how does it handle lifted? Does the FA24 have any problems w/those meaty tires? I was running 35's on my Jeep JKUR and it was a slug.

It looks great, I think the photo from the rear gives the illusion that it looks kind of top heavy.

What kind of power is this putting out, do you have it retuned at all?

265/60 is only 3% larger than stock 245/60.

OP, how does it drive on the highway with that offset?

Plenty of power! I just hit 1000 miles so I've opened it up more now. Feels great, no issues at all and I don't feel like I'm waiting to accelerate to get on the freeway. The new wheel/tire setup is only a few lbs heavier than stock.

Ya the rear photo angle gives that illusion. It feels very planted and this particular lift kit went through roll over testing and other industry testing to ensure it is safe.

It's like 260hp/280tq stock on 87 and I have not tuned it yet.

Here are some of the testing photos from LP Aventure

Feels very stable and helped the steering feel a little heavier which is an improvement over stock. No regrets with this setup at all.

Cool, I just got similar offset wheels on my car last week, other than additional tendency to tramline which is ok, I am getting some throttle steer, the car pulls left on throttle and shifts back right when you let off, its not torque steer.

I'm not really sure if the stock offset was enough to hide an imperfect factory alignment and the +38 wheels are magnifying an alignment issue, or if my front left tire could have an issue. I'm going to a shop tomorrow that specializes in suspension tuning and alignment for track cars, the only labor they do is mount/road force tires, install suspensions and align/corner balance. So we'll see where that leaves me tomorrow afternoon.
