Looks MUCH better. Now get some new tires and lower it to finish up!

Btw, Primo, it's not the tire's fault that you're rubbing... it's the wheels.

I would tend to agree to a point they are +48 offset which is on the low side but everybody I have spoken with in person remark about how much tire is present in the rear

the bulge is hard to see in the pics I have here so, i will do some close ups this evening and post them here as well. The rim protector bead is not stretched or anything.

Again all info and advice is welcomed.

what is the width of the rear rim? I think if it was a 9" rim the stretched look of a 255 would fit better. if it is 8" or 8.5" it may give it a more buldging look if the rim is too narrow.

Does the tire cap come with the wheels or what?

ahh i think that is why you are seeing a bit of a buldge with the tires, the tires may be a bit too wide for the rim, if you go 245/35/18 that may fit a bit better.
just a thought though

if you are talking about the center caps then yes they came with my purchase from a member on this board but I dont think they come with the wheels by default. There are a few styles of center caps available so they make you purchase them seperately to get the look you want.

this is the general consensus from those who have seen the setup in person.

I like the look and I think the stance is pretty good, that front end has really grown on me!
