The BBSs would have been better left as is. What are the tire sizes you are running now that you reverse mounted them?

the condition of the bbs's before getting them refinished and reverse mounted weren't that great. and i had always planned to reverse mount them because it shows more of the lip and less of the face which is what I wanted. I am running 215/40 on the 9" fronts and 235/40 on the 10" rears, the tires are the hankook ventus v12's are a little beefier than the average falken or kuhmo etc.
