the ad was posted in edmonton, but the guy actually lives in red deer and drove down for the weekend for me to buy them off of him. and theyre 19s. And technically I cant chat gs's cause its an aristo lol

Couldnt come out tonight as i had to work late., there's usually 2 or 3 aristo guys other than me there on fridays. The only GS ive seen so far was your old white one. I'll be there next friday though.

thanks man. one of the front wheels has some curb rash, and the finish is starting to come off on another, but other than that theyre in solid shape. Plus I got them at a pretty wicked price too so ive got no complaints. I just need to get one lip repaired and get em powder coated and then theyll really look amazing

alright so it looks like im gonna have to get some new tires on the rear since i picked up a nail in one of em....not really a huge deal since i was planning on getting some before the summer ends. i just have a quick question about the sizing. currently there almost new 235 35 r19 tires on the front rims which are 8.5 inches wide. and the back rims which are 9.5 inches wide has a 275 35 r19 tire on it.

What tire size should i go with in the rear now?

Not really feeling like sticking with the 275 35 r19 and now im considering going down to 245 35 r19 on the rear rims for lowering purposes....but i feel that it will look weird with the slightly stretched setup on the back and the 235 still on the the front. anybody have any ideas on what i should do here?
