yeah mines like that too.... the installer said that if i cut half a coil the tire would be tucked.. and he said it would do nothing to the ride but if i cut more like a coil or more then it would kill the ride...

My installer/mechanic told me the same thing too... He recommended cutting half a coil for a better look. But I was very hestitant because I absolutely did not want a crap *** ride. But now I am thinking, maybe I can go ahead and go for it, the ride is already bad as it is.....might as well go for the look.
