Should be getting them in the next week. Pictures will be put in here. Next thing will be the drop.

What springs do you suggest? and how much does the install typically run?

Youre going to hate those tire sizes. They are super small for the wheel width. Companies always do this...they undersize the tires they put in their packages. You need at least a 265/40 17 for the front and a 315 35 17 for the rear. Should have just ordered the wheels and put the tires you want to on them because those tires are going to be stretched like a ****.

Crash, the link worked for me. lol

link worked for me too.. that company is ****ing AWESOME thats where i got my wheels from.

i called up because i had a question, and the guy working in the warehouse was the guy answering the phones too, get this. since they didnt have the tires in stock on the ebay page, he was "shhh, im gonna throw a set of nice tires on their for you" so he did, he upgraded the tires to a better one than the listed tires package.

Wow thats awesome man. And im not too worried about the tires looking a bit stretched. Ill see how they look when they come in. And i needed them ASAP and this is what finances would allow at the time.

they wont be a little stretched...they'll be really stretched. ive seen 275 40 17's on 10.5 wheels and it looks terrible and the sidewalls would be tight as hell and its not gonna ride very well either. Just forewarning ya mang. Wheels should look **** though.
