So i ended up getting a pass now. I failed with 245/275 setup mounting on LFA rep rims, and so i came home and swapped in the stock ISF rims with 235/275 setup and passed with that. Guy said now it looks fine cause i guess the LFA reps were further out closer to the fenders whereas the oem ISF rims sit more into the wheel well. Regardless it passed now, came home and swapped back. Never going there again! So we can have wider tires i suppose just has to sit more flush, oem style...

Good to know, I'm runing 245/275 PSS on stock '12 rims so I was very interested in their explanation behind failing you the first time, what kind of offset on your lfa's and wheel specs ? Thanks for the update

The specs of the LFA reps are : F: 19x8.5 (38mm) and R: 19x9.5 (38mm). visually is a big difference, i noticed it right away when i slapped on the oem ISF rims, much more sunken into the fender wells.

New law in Texas last year. we have to get the state inspection before we can get the tags. and then show proof of insurance before we get the tags also.

Sorry **** people here go buy an inspection illegally a lot, and then buy insurance for the tags , then cancel it.

luckily here in San Antonio, they just check lights, etc. ...... In Houston and Dallas, they stick the rod up the tailpipe and do smog , etc. test.
