Wuttup dude, I got rid of my last one. Easy high 13's =] But got this, now trying to sell this for something different lol
What do you mean by reversing?
Honestly, their easy to take off, take it off, see how your car reacts as far as wheel hop and such. If it didnt help or made it worst, put it back on.

if you look at the picture the thick part of the shock is at the top towards where your tire would be if you reverse them the skinnier part of the shock would be in place of the thicker part thus being said more room for a wider wheel

Don't remove them. Your car will handle like shit (ie wheel hop). You should trial fit your wheels and tires to see if you rub. You should also plan on rolling your wheel wells as you will most likely rub w/ 275s

Yeah, it's tricky. Some people recommend heating the paint with a heat gun to make it less brittle while you are rolling the fenders. There is a pretty cool fender rolling tool that is supposted to work really well.
