i didnt check the fitment yet. My rears will fit for sure but my skinnies need spacers for the brake calipers. I was just going to run my saleens up front if i was to go tomorrow. What about a 1/4" spacer, does GENE have those too? It'd be nice if i could get the spacer and tires at the same place.

I was wondering the exact same thing, even went back a few post to see, idk. I went to genes a few yrs back for a set of lugs I needed for some 22's on my truck, I didn't get them and the price was ridiculous and I have never went back since. P2 did you actually mount them on your car to check for clearance? Just because he had them and they fit doesn't mean necessarily that they are gonna fit on your car with no modification. You run a spacer like that you might need some longer studs as well. He may have had an aftermarket rear etc and lined them up himself. Last thing you need is to bolt them on and they rub inside somewhere and you blow a tire goin 100mph+. I have seen guys run my tires with no problem, but when I bolted them up I had clearance issues on my car and I addressed them before running them

HA ha i wish. i have always dreamed of having a boat or jetski and this kind of fixer-upper came my way for dirt cheap so i picked it up. And btw, it looks a lot more like this: the cat came with the boat
Here's Cody putting in the work so he can be the first one to ski behind it
here is some of the 15 gallons of bad gas we sucked out of it:
