Sweet!

Dayum! I can't wait to get mine now. Still have to wait several weeks since it's still being shipped from Japan. Man, I hate waiting .

Front: 21
Rear : 24

If I could do it all over again, i would go with 255/285 tires config. or go with 20".

Bubble: the 255/285 config is exactly the setup I want to go for - I just want to do it with the RH J8 rim, and I'm trying to get them 9.5" and 10.5" also, with a +26 rear. So, concentrating on the rears, if yours are +24, and you would have gone 285, you must have enough clearance that you wouldn't have to roll the fenderlip, right?

I ask because I'm being told by Bryan at 350Zonlinestore that I cannot put 285/35-19s on a 10.5" rim with a +26 offset without rubbing - and that does NOT make sense to me - so I'm trying to find someone who can unequivocably confirm that I'm correct. If a 285 would fit on your +24 10.5" rim, how could it not fit my 10.5" +26 choice?

One more question: are you noticing an increase in road rash on your fenderlip pinchweld areas by having the tires so much farther outbound? I am concerned about premature rust on the metal from stones.....
