Height also depends on air pressure.

It's pretty much normal. The only way a tire measures "true to size" is when they are unmounted without weight on them.

It's cuz you haz 10s and your 35s are stretched. I bet you get a lot closer to 35" on 15 x 8s. even!

SO . It seems that it would stand to reckon that if you mounted the famed 37s on your 15x10s with no other changes , you would hit 35 inches on with a 4" lift.

Ready?
Go!
