1) Well, as promised i bidded and won that license plate holder from ebay so you all could see. In a nutshell, it works, but I could probably make up something that would work just as good if not better with similar components. It has 2 "U" shaped brackets that just pressure hold onto the upper bumper. The thumb screws merely hold the shafts to the "U" brackets. You just center it by lining up the brackets with the little dimples in the bumper you would drill if you were to mount a plate traditionally.

Secondly, instead of using bolts to hold the plate to the brackets(because of fear of scratches) I used those plastic push thingies that you see holding things like trunk and hood liners. They fit real snug with no chance of this thing fallinfg off.

2) I got new rims and tires. I'm a litle worried about them sticking out too far but I think they look ok. They're 255/45-18 BFG Gforce KDW's, familiar, I'm sure to alot of you.

Check the pics.

Tires and wheels look great, doesnt look like they stick out too far, but a 255, how many inches wide is that? 9?

drbobvs

well, it's an 18x9 rim

255 mm = 10.03 inches ( 25.4mm= 1 inch)
