the sidewall on your 27-35s looks bigger than mine. I have the same tire up front. I guess because my wheels are 9.5" wide. I dunno. I love the wheels. Huge improvement.

I think the rear lip is actually deeper than the Ruffs. You should measure that just for comparison purposes.
LOL u make it seem like they cost only $500 or something. the wheels arent as cheap as you think it goes for more $ with the staggered setup. And thanks for everyone whos complemented me on the wheels. Tough decisionw anted to go with the HP Evo but thought it was to much clutter so I got these I noticed rarely any Fbodys with this wheel so I went ahead and got it. As for the old wheels they came on the car when I got the car.

I know exactly how much they cost because I nearly bought them myself. I was saying they rival the appearance of high dollar forged wheels but allow you to save the extra $2k you would have spent on those and put it in the Procharger fund, if you know what I mean.

I agree with your choice, the Evos are a bit overboard...plus i wouldn't want to have to clean them.

O)o yeah honestly I didnt know the price I just wanted them They are similar to the ruffs which were my first choice but the wheel i wanted was on backorder in gunmetal so i went with these wheels. Shoot me a pm let me know what you were abotu to spend on the wheels. And yea the evos are a bit overkill man I agree with you on that 1.
