Dangit! I was planning on putting mine on tomorrow, but you're really tempting me! I have those in black with some fat Nitto rubber. Just gotta go get them mounted.

Looks good, btw.

Heavy, while your there, have Don show you how to use shelving in a garage.

Don, car looks good, and if you ever get over by heavy, you'll know I'm just funning with him.. Garage makeover is super necessary. The good news is he knows it..

If you have a tuner so you can correct your ratio, I'd recommend 255/45/18 for the front and 295/45/18 for the rear.

For me, it was between these and the Shelby CS66 or CS67's. But I always kept coming back to these. And they're half the price. It's hard to beat. Of course, I ponied up the extra $ for the pony center caps. Getting them mounted tomorrow with any luck.

Wheels/tires look good for sure, but the rear tire is too short with the stock suspension

Debating getting a set of nitto dr's 305 45's found a place with them for 220 each, but thats almost a 29 inch tire I really dont know if i want to run that big. Thought im going with 430s maybe itll be worth it? What u guys think??
