Bad tire size!

91 is way below OEM minimum 95 load rating. Not a good thing and safety and handling are seriously compromised. You really need to think about 255/35 to meet that specification, although a 9" wide wheel is what is required, but 8.5" will work. +35mm offset might work as it does in 18".

Whatever you do, don't speed as an overloaded tire negates the speed rating.

For an experiment sometime, open the K&N and an OEM and compare the total filter medai area. Of course, that doesn't account for the filter media's effectiveness. Most don't beat OEM but rather allow larger chunks of contaminants in pursuit of added horsepower claims, which is horsefeathers in reality.

Few understand that the OEM CAI inlet is located in a high pressure area.
