So fresh and so clean. It looks like a fairly stretched tire, what size are they? I'm pretty sure this thread just convinced me ES2s are the right choice.

Want beefy tire look, getting tired of the stretch look, actually looking for some stock wheels and run 255's for a comfort ride.

i'm in the same position, i have 8.75 +20 with 225/40 and the ride quality is not great. however i can't go 235s because i used to rub with that setup.

considering ditching my tires and wheels and getting some forgestar f14s (maybe 18x9 +29) with the right width and offset to run 235 or 245/40

I have a buddy that had the same wheel specs running 235's he said it was rubbing abit up front.

At first I was going to get the base lip too, but for around the same price went with this one to get more out of it.
Yeah It would be nice.

Thanks guys!! I went back to red tails because the custom ones had dust getting inside and it was bugging me, so decided to go back to the reds but I customize those painted the bezel black. I have a set of 07-08 tails I'm going to customize myself.
