New Tires installed with pictures

I have a set of 20''x8.5'' wheels, my old 245/35ZR20s were shot with sidewall damage. I had to get something to clear my wiring harness on the driver front firewall. I went with a new Falken 235/30ZR20. Yes they are low profile, but remember this is not a daily driver.

$160.00 each, I make sure my camber is close to 0 degrees if possible before a long drive.
