Whenever I see pictures of your car, it makes me regret not buying the angora beige SC I looked at.
What offsets are you running on the 10 and 11's? My wheels are going to be redone in 10 and 11, so I'm trying to figure out how big of a tire I can run.
How do you like the clazzio covers? I was contemplating buying the diamond stitched covers since its so much cheaper than having the seats reupholstered.

Slight stretch more so on the front but it's not bad. I'm only rolled all around. Mind you i'm sitting at that height with 0° camber in the front and -1° in the back thanks to the Ikeya Formula upper front arms and Megan rear arms.
I love the Clazzio's. If you have no problem waiting about 8 weeks from ordering to receiving them go for it.
I've never had one person assume they were just covers. Everyone who has seen them asks me who did my upholstery work.
The front's fit snug and look great but the lower portion of the rears are kind of loose fitting. You can see it in the pic I posted. But yes for under $400 it's a win in my book. The install is a breeze as everything just slips on and is tied/tightened and tucked away.

Those wheel widths and offsets are basically the same as I'm going to run. I'm looking at 18x10 +25 with a 245/40/18 and 18x11 +30 with a 275/35/18 in the rear. If you're running -1 camber in the rear, then I might be able to get away with tucking rim in the back without pulling the fenders when I air out.

Awesome color. I liked the Rohanna wheels a bit better. The samurai sword handle shifter is also awesome! Great upgrades! How's it ride? What new stereo did you put in?

Thanks, yeah you could say they're knockoffs.
Thanks, to me the new wheels looked better on other cars I saw them on but they're growing on me fast. Tires are 255/30/20's so the sidewall is neither thin nor meaty. So far the ride is tolerable with the cheap Accelera tires and coilovers at that height. The coilovers have like 40k on them and aren't blown so that's a plus. The stereo hasn't changed but I did have to replace the foam surround on the W7's about a week apart from each other. They're 5+ years old and with the Florida heat and no ventilation in the truck they must have dry rotted.

Still the same as the last few pictures, I scraped off all decals though. I also tinted the whole windshield to 35%. Next year I plan on getting a new set of wheels. Might go with 19's this time and lower it a bit more to compensate. My last 3 sets of wheels have been 20's. Sometime next year I'm gonna get it fully resprayed again. The hood is beginning to show little cracks (crows feet) and the passenger side is in rough shape. Sorry the uploaded pics look like they were taken with a potato. Guess the quality suffered when they were uploaded.
