thanks for the advice, these springs are soft and it doesnt help that im on stock shocks.

you need a 235/30ZR20 instead of a 235/35.. A tire thats 25.9" diameter~

trust me i said the same thing, however when i tried to order the tires from tire rack they refused to sell me 235/30/20. i was told that it will not support the weight in the front of the gs. i faught with them about this for a week...... As of right now i think i am going to hold off on adding the front RCA. i think it will do more harm than good.
yea its a pain arguing with tire stores but good thing they did their part in the load index vs stock load index.

guess now its raise it back up with a smaller RCA or no RCA.

There's other places to order tires lol get some smaller tires and roll your fenders. Save your 235/35s and put it on your rear wheels later
