Yup. 10+ years. They work perfectly. The wear perfectly. I get 17,000+ miles out of a set of tires. Handles perfect. Feels perfect.

Here's some pics. And yes.....the tire is not flush with the rim, but I think that looks just fine. That's just preference. I am however getting some new rims soon and I am going to have them widened to 11" or 11.5" to use 315 or maybe 335.

Now what backspacing would i need if i wanted to buy a set of aftermarket rims? I want ether a 17 or an 18 rim. Maybe a 18x11 or 12 and what backspacing would I need to get for them to fit?

Also what backspacing would i need for the front rims? I want the back rims wider then the front of course.

Thanks Again!

36mm offset 17x11 ZR1s with 335/35s below. Lowered 2", rolled fenders and minor BFHing - would rub on the quarter if I had a passenger...
