    How do you like the Hankooks? I am deciding between those and the new Nitto 420s. Any feedback yet? I like the simple design of the wheels and they look good tucked a little, what offset did you end up getting?

    Not sure of the exact offset as no specs on C-line site, but the tread is dead even w/ the top of the fenderwell. The sidewall sticks out a little (maybe an inch) Too early to tell on the tires, but they seem to grip well. I was expecting a much harsher ride w/ lower sidewall section, but it doesn't seem much worse than the 265/70x16's.Also the Hankooks were way less expensive than any other brand I could find.

    Thanks Cyrk,
    That means a lot since you are partially to "blame". I was going to leave the "Silver Bullet" mostly stock until I saw pics of that sweet red s/c of yours.That & about a zillion other mods I've seen around here put the hook in me bad! Now the mods are kind of "snowballing" down a seemingly VERY steep slope. Is there a 12 step program for this addiction??? I hope not!

    For the 265/50's, did you go with the 8" or 8.5" Rapids? The back spacing is the same for both widths (5"), but I'm curious which width aligned better with the fender.

    Looks sharp!
