I'll wait.
Just got the street "fiddys" dismounted this afternoon, now I'm looking at four naked dubs, rolling all manner of ideas involving paint, stainless hex head cap screws, etc. around in the noggin.
Prolly clean & shine tomorrow & see what the Mr.Gasket "no profile" valve stems look like.

You sick bastard! I can't wait to see em!!

[Ldub]

OK, here's the first rudimentary attempt at a foto of the new skinz...I know, it sucks contrast wise & gives a rather poor view of the tread, but I've been wanting to put up a pic for days now & the sun just hasn't been cooperating.

Keep in mind, this is just a "teaser"...I'll post a better shot after I give her a bath & have another inch of lift installed.

My first impression of the tires is : WOW, these things are really LOUD going down the road, that was expected.

Also, the side-walls are INSANELY stiff.(load range E) It took me (230 lbs.) & another guy (approx. 180 lbs...I didn't weigh him) both standing on the sidewall (on top of the tire machine) to get the bead into the drop, while a third guy ran the machine.

The really amazing thing is, I haven't had them balanced yet & from 0-75+ mph there is litteraly NO vibration...unbelievable for a tire that weighs almost 75 lbs. (shipping weight, I haven't actually weighed them either).

And yes, I did have to do more than a bit of trimming/ 2 lb. hammer modifications to the front fender wells. (due mostly to more neg. offset)

I'm glad y'all weren't able to talk me outta this!!!

Lookin' pretty sick! Me likes... With 20's the tires still look like 31's! Next you'll be telling us how bad you don't want 35's! :bwgr:
