yea thats a great touch...on top of being aesthetically pleasing, its one of the things they're changed to combat the replicas out there. =)

Hey R0shiro, If you ran a 255 in the back with a 5 mm spacer like you did in the front, would you have any rubbing issues?

essentially this brings the rim to a size of 18x10 +34 correct? i really love the idea of staying with 18's!

yea i wouldn't go with anything bigger with this engine. =)

I'm riding with R1R 265s in the rear which run bigger than other 265s and i was rubbing. I went to tony in granada hills and he shaved the fenders and now I'm not rubbing, But I'm super close man. with +39/no shaving and 255 i think i would've been ok. if you go +34/255 and NO shaving...i think you'll rub. But then again...if you go with a rounder tire you should be fine. These Toyos are do square...lol.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the Axle Back System.
