If you haven't done so already, I suggest installing a rear subframe alignment and stabilizer kit like the stop-the-hop Ultimate Street or Ultimate Handling sets offered by Steeda. I'm running the street kit and the floaty rear end is now solid.
Probably a combination of the car breaking in and you getting more comfortable with shifting it. I doubt that you need to worry - Drive it like ya stole it!
How does the car ride and handle with 285/35's on 9.5-inch rims? I'm running 275/35's on 9.5's and due to noticeably increased fender gaps I'm pondering 285/35's or 275/40's next time. Thanks!
If you check your selected tire mfg specs, you may find that a 285 tire is OK on a 9.5 inch rim. That's the case with Continental DWS 06'S - the 285/9.5 combo is OK. The 275 limit for 9.5s is a general rule.
I recently bought this to clean tires and wheels and it's incredible how well it works. You'll wish that you bought it sooner!

Here's what Samsung's circle find AI found. I don't think it's an exact match, but the spokes are about the right width.

To clarify, the gap between the tire and the fender at any point in the fender's arc will change by 1/2 the change in diameter. The vehicle's height from the ground will also change by the same value.
It should be behind a panel found in the trunk, drivers side. So, I guess the unit is in the drivers side rear upper fender area, behind the trunk panel.
The way that I try to remember is that as the offset goes up, the outer (and inner) wheel edge shifts to the inside. A 9-inch front wheel at 25mm offset should put the tire just about flush with the fender edge. A 10.5-inch rear wheel with a 55 offset may be slightly tucked inside the fender...
Hi. After all that I've read about after-market oil plugs, stock seems to be the best choice.
1. This is a part that is only seen during oil changes.
2. No reports of stock plug failing.
3. Managing oil flow when draining is very simple with the stock plug.
4. Replacing the stock plug every...

Lots of us use these and they look good, are pretty tough, and do the job.

I've got a friend who bought a Toyota RAV 4 Prime. No extras, and the low-end 12-hour 110V charger. 300HP and 47 miles electric-only before it turns into a hybrid. The crazy thing is that the charger will plug into a standard electric outlet, wherever one is located. And he takes advantage of...
So simple, but designed the way it should be. From the video - are the bottom panels actually made of METAL??! Who designed this car? Easy to change oil filter and metal bottom panels? Sacrilegious.
What am I seeing right there behind the air filter box? An accessible and mess-proof oil filter???!?
It looks like there's a chrom-ish raised lip that catches the oil when you unscrew the filter?
Not a chance! Several areas are bent that won't cooperate well at all. If you get into pulling it out you can improve the damage but it won't look right. It's driveable, though if you can live with it. Bummer.
