Here's my pictures:

So first is the spindle itself that I thought had more threads sticking out than it really does. Thought about cutting it, but then after actually seeing it, decided it would NOT be a good idea



Then here is a picture of the cap BEFORE modification



And then after a little Dremel/sand paper

Just took right now for TFG:

Sorry, I Couldnt take any side shots. All taken with iPhone 3GS

This one is a 3/4 shot..


This is a pic of the rear wheel and red cap.:


This is somewhat of a side profile, but the shade prevents you from seeing anything in detail:


This is the last shot i took, which is to show how flush the wheels sit with the fender. However, it doesn't look too flush from this angle. But I can assure you that it is.:

I went with 235/35/19 in front and 265/30/19 in the rears.

I rub whenever i make abrupt turns in the driver's side front, so I may just get 225/35/19 next time.

Kayotik is the rear tire really so thin or just the pic being dark. I can barely see tires at all.
Is the rub in the liner? maybe can be fixed.

Sorry, the pictures were taken with my phone so it probably didn't capture the contrast/gamma correctly. The tires are fair sized and i don't worry about them popping or anything.
