I like the concave look that the 9.5s offer. The 8.5s don't really do it for me. Thats why I went with staggered tires.

Too much rubber.
35s would of been a better choice.

Nice wheel choice though!

The only reason I didn't go for the 35s is that I wanted to keep around the stock tire diameter. It also leaves more space between the pavement and the wheel. Less chance of a pothole screwing it up.

Looks very nice. The 40s give the tires a race car look to it. I approve!!!

Not a fan of those tires, but great choice in wheels! These days it almost seems rare to see someone buy a set of authentic wheels, and not the Rota knockoff!

nice, would you happen to have a staright side shot without the wheels turned? what is your overall impression with the new rim size as far as turning? cornering? accelerating? etc? Any rubbing issues? thanks for any info.

Sure do. I haven't notice any rubbing while turning unless I hit a significant bump in the road then it rubs a little. Cornering seems awesome, it just sticks. It rubs slightly on the rear also, but nothing a minor fender roll won't fix.

Thanks for posting so many pics. I have had on my eye on these tires lately. I'm not after them for the crazy treadwear....it's not my style...but they're nice and fat and they apparently stick....plus they're quiet as well from what I hear.

Looks great! I'm so tired of stretched out tires.
