You're absolutely right on too wide for the OEM Rays. And the other mods affecting VDC. I read a lot of good things here before I bought them. I didn't read anything about how much the bigger tire on OEM Rays affected handling. Live and learn, I can live with them for now. I know it's mostly over size tires now, but VDC never came on with same mods and 050's. Now it comes on very easy. I just turn it off most of the time. I really didn't think larger size tire would make that much difference, it does.LOL. The front isn't bad, but the rear is a lot softer. I plan to get wheels in the future that will accommodate 305's. Or going with 285's on the Rays if that time comes before wheels. All in all, if I had it to do over I wished I spent a few more bucks and got the RE-11's ...in 285 out back.
