I tried putting an 8.5" wide wheel in my sedan, the floor bulged up in the middle.

Was it a big, bad bulge? or a "It sucks a little but I'll live with it kind of bulge?"

Default Fairly annoying...

I really couldn't put stuff on the load floor, the center was sticking up and the sides kind of just 'hung' there.
