Its like 102* outside and crazy bright so the pics might top notch. Loving the ride its a LOT smoother than kumho's and the traction is 100x better on the Nitto's. The wheels just seem to flow with the car so great with the black/chrome combo. I'm VERY happy with my purchase



















Next mod is a lowering kit, get rid of that huge gap haha. Time to start saving

OP, wheels look good.

Wasn't there a thread a while back about AR was going to the 2.1 and doing away with the 2 piece wheel? I could have swore I remember seeing something like that or the guy was on a site where they only sold the 2.1's or something like that.

I love it when Fed-X shows up

Nice! Did he bring step bars too so you can get in that thing?

I'm sure springs will follow shortly (hint, hint...)

Correct backspacing for the 17x9.5s is 7inches, 17x11 rears are 7.75 inches.
