Hey brotha! Thanks! I REALLY shoulda washed it/detailed it up before taking the pics, but I was in a hurry. (detailing it takes it from a 5 to a 6 LOL, can't wait for body work/paint!) Getting it lowered [in rear to level it out] Saturday morning, so I'll wash it up and get some better pics! I bought some CJ Pony Parts Sportline springs (Eibach Sportline/better price) so the back should be like an inch lower than now. Post up some pics of your car!

Did you have to roll the fenders with these tires? I also wanna get the 275/45 in the rear.

well you want a 275/40/17 not 275/45/17. but i did roll them a little. but my springs in the back are too low (old and saggy) but its pretty easy to do. just use a 3lb sledge and tap around the fender (dont hit it too hard lol) but just work it up gradually. i didnt have to to get them to fit i just didnt like the sharp edge that was sticking out at my brand new tires lol.

they only rub a little on big bumps or if someone sits in the back ant i hit a bump. i suppose i could roll them more if i wanted to but im just gonna get new springs first

your wheels look nice I got regular 17x9 chrome cobra r's with 275/40's in the rear, no tire rubbing, quad shock is there and the right way, no fender rolling either. maybe I'm just lucky lol
