This shot of the rear tire looks great!



Just curious though; I'm pretty sure your fender lip is rolled, but do you rub at all on the outer fender? It sure looks like it would.

Revcore66 - no rear shots, it looks pathetic with 245's from behind. That will all be fixed monday, Im trading for a staggered combo with 19x11s and 325s in the rear

Skymaira - its my wife's grandmother's place, age-restricted neighborhood, very strict HOA, etc

Carlos - fenders are rolled and there is rubbing but only when entering very steep driveways at an angle. I did the math and these (with the spacer) stick out .25" farther than the ZR1s they replaced
