Wingman108, maybe I'll see your truck around sometime. I'm in Burlington a lot for work. Those should look sweet on there!

Yea I work here so I'm always around town. We need to have a MA meet soon!

On a different note, I think I'm gonna crank my tbars a scotch before i throw these bad boys on for some more breathing room in the front. any thoughts? i was thinking about an inch.

order camber kits on summit before you crank them. then crank the bars, drive around for like 10 miles, install the kit, and go get an alignment

You know, I don't have a problem with the scene (hell, my real project is a lowered car), but it drives me insane to see improper sized tires on any rim, whether it's too big or too small.

they will be fine. while my mr2 wasnt as darastic as a 205 on a 9inch wheel, i was still pretty stretched and had no issues.

op, you will love the wheels. ive had mine for over a year now, and they still look great.
