    Finally got rubber

    Took me long enough to get them mounted, finally gave up on the TRM wheels. Love the 949 wheels (15x7.5), really light and look pretty darn good. Tires are a bit wider than I expected, but should be lots of fun.

    Nice! I like those. What size are your tires?

                They are 235/50-15 Toyo R888's, for only 10mm wider than the 225 RA-1's I have they actually measure like an inch wider. The longer studs I got wouldn't work for some reason, so can't finish the install until after I get replacements. Using 1/4" spacer in the back and .5" spacer in the front.

                        For once someone on R3v put proper tires on a car. It gives me a little chubby!

                            yeah, theres lots of meat and thats good, but I wouldn't consider that bulge or fitment ideal. I bet it serves its purpose tho.

                              Eh just a tad to wide. Just a little bit to much. I'd like to see the definition of proper-tires.
