I think this explains why the side profile on the ZCP tires I saw seemed to "slant" inward more compared to the 19" on the non-ZCPs. It looked a lot better to me as I've grown to really dislike the thickness of the stock side profiles. Its one thing I'm finding harder and harder to live with. And why I'm going down a size 265/30/19 with my next set.
