Default Ordered My Rims And Tires Today

I pulled the trigger today... I ordered my rims from Tom Z..

i ordered TTM's... Black with the polished lip

front = 2 @ 17 X 9
rear = 2 @ 17 X 10.5

Then i ordered rubber..... I belive that Discount Tires is a Sponsor here

9" rim = BGF G-Force T/A KDW (275/40/17) $175/each

10.5" rim = BFG G-Force T/A KD (315/35/17) $259/each

Man this will suck not being able to rotate tires and wow are the 315's SOOO EXPENSIVE..

it sucks that they did not have the tire for front and rear. But the tread almost looks identical....

But the look will be

So i will post pics when it is all put together

$260 for a pair of 315 KD's is a good price.

KD's are cheaper than when I bought them, and they look AWESOME! I would buy some more if I didn't have the MT's coming.

not being able to rotate them will only be bad if you drive like a 15 year old and burn the tires off on every corner..... i have ran this setup on a few cars and its not gonna be what you are execting having to put new tires on the rear all the time......

keep the right psi i the tires and check every month, make sure they are balanced and alined and you will be surprized at how long a set can last even not being able to rotate...... also do you have a 2nd car? that can help out even more if you dont have to drive it everyday all day
