Car look great and the background not bad either. The light would have just put it over the top but I think it had good light.

Joe - thanks man! still love your wheels; wish i had the ***** to go with that color combo. i believe that i am running 245/35 F and 265/30 R. i'm not certain about the front though. i will double check and let you know if they are a different size. have you checked the suspension sub-forum recently. there was another suggested solution posted. looking into it next week hopefully. will post what we find.
Hey Ryan,
Did you confirm that your running 245/35 up front, also did you have to change out the studs to longer ones? What is your ride height? (measured from flat surface to highest point of wheel well).

Thanks.

hey Ron - i am actually running 225/35/20 on a 9"+20 up front (245/35 was my last set on an 8.5"). i did change to the studs that came with the icheba kit, as i added a 5mm spacer, so +15 overall.
height is at 26" at the moment. i cannot go much lower as i will not clear speed bumps, as well as create more rubbing issues. i will not be going any lower, unless i decide to go with air. no time soon though
keep in mind that i am AWD, so my tire setups are going to be slightly different to keep the same rolling diameter front and back (or as close as possible anyway).
entire specs -
front - 225/35/20_9"+20 (add 5mm spacer to +15)
rear - 265/30/20_10.5"+25
