Tires on the car seem really tall, and the car seems lifted. I don't know if this is just the angle of pics or something is off. Could you please take a look at them if you have a minute? Thank you.

Silver cars tend to look like this which exaggerates the tires between the silver wheels and silver body. It does seem higher. And I've nothing to compare. The fender gap shadow can be deceiving. It "could" have higher profile tires but there's not enough detail in any of the photos (nor on their website) to tell. If you're local it's easy to read the sidewall. OEM fronts are 215-45, rears are 245-40.

Price seems in line with what I perceiving the market to be now.

Its that and also the photos are a bit...squished. You can see it most clearly in the sideview shot. The car looks kinda smooshed. Its like they elongated the photo top to bottom.

That mangling of the photo image is exacerbating the tall appearance.

Got it. Thank you so much!

Hm - those tires look too big to me. Especially if those are 17 inch rims. If they are 16's then maybe they are correct. Just ask them what size tires are on the car.

I would say these tires do seem big or tall I guess would be a better word. The clearance of the rear wheel to the fender well looks really tight for stock trim rims.

The wheels are not the original Potenza and the rear wheel wells have mud guards?

Maybe the spring spacers were never removed.... Or someone put on the wrong sized tires..... Or .....

The dealer sent me more info - tires are 225/50/17 front and 255/50/17 rear...

Is it OK to drive like that? I need to drive several hundred miles to bring the car home (I will replace them as soon as I get home).

turn off VSA and enjoy the drive.
