Nice pics!

So those wheels are 18x9. I wonder how an 18x8 would fit with 275s.

I await your complete test fit!

Thanks for those tire pics!

Yeah, way too much rubber for me. I've made up my mind and will be going 255 all around.

Way to prove that 275 fits though!

As for those tips, where did you get them from? eBay?
