Default Got new rims and rubber put on this morning.

When its time to get new tires im going with a taller tire. I put 275 50 15s on this time around... Net time all go with 275 60 15s.

I think it looks good.

I took some quick pictures of it as soon as I finished grinding the **** out of the calipers.
