        I love the wheels! I'm glad you're enjoying wrenching on the old girl.

            For those not on Facebook, I installed the wheels. I still need some new tires (the fronts are small at 235/40R18) but you get the idea. Sharp!

                    I know you said on FB that you like how short the sidewalls are, but I think the wheels need a little more meat on them. The need to fill the wheel well is strong with me.

                      Looks good, needs more tire tho. Fronts look more like rubber bands.

                        I don’t like how much sidewall is on the fronts.

                        I plan on running 235/50R18s all the way around, which I am currently running in the back. Need at least a 27” diameter wheel and tire for sure!

                          I can definitely approve of that.

                            So, I installed some parts I had laying around. Looks good! Runs pretty good too, I just need to do a little bit of tuning. I only had to splice a couple wires, I reused as much of the factory wirig as I could. Next, cleaning up some more under there and rebuilding my front suspension with some big brakes!
