I'm very happy with the fit of these tires. They changed the total look of the car IMO. So far, i'm loving them! I cleaned the dust off of the car today and took it to a few places for some pics. Some turned out good, some didn't. Anyways, here they are...

The car looks good Jr. Are you driving now, or are you still a passenger in your own car?
I like how the tires fill up the rear wheel wells, and like that NC background.
From what I can tell from your shadow in the pics, your pants need pulling up,...
"Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a foo w/ your pants on the ground."
AND,....does your dad know you're out beating on your car?

Lol thanks!!!
I am driving the car all by myself now!!! Got my license a few months ago. I'm loving the freedom!
And NO SIR i'm not sagging at all! I hate wiggers with a passion. My pants are right where the are supposed to be. ABOVE my buttcheeks. I think the shadow just distorts my figure a lot lol
My dad did know that I was going to an "undisclosed location" to take a few pics, so I guess he knew what I was going to do with it once I got there. Oh well, gotta learn how to do it somewhere. And not a better place to do it than this spot I found. Nobody within at least a quarter mile of me and a long straightaway.

Looks awesome what all did you have to do to get them to fit? Any rubbing? What's the rim backspacing?

All I had to do was roll my fender lips. So far I haven't had any rubbing issues. I don't know the backspacing on the wheels, but I think it's 5.5...

You didn't need to remove, or flip the quad shocks?

They are completely under the car. (like mine) Mine are 7" backspaced. And your's is only 5.5?
# 1 I guess the fact that they have such a tall sidewall is how you got such a big(wide) tire on a 8" rim?

Thanks txstang84!!! That is a goal of mine. I am still a long way off from that kind of a quality car though.

Yea after looking back my wheels are indeed 5.5 b.s. And they were a little bit of a pain to mount on the wheel, but not nearly as bad as some of these guys running 345/30/18s on a 10 inch wheel. Those are NO fun to put on!!! I was able to slip them on the wheels at work with no problem.
