They are pretty big rims! Kinda feeling like a baller right now. It's still up on jackstands, so they don't sit quite right and stick out. I didn't think they would be quite that big. But it should be on the ground tomorrow, so I'll be able to tell if it looks fuc&ing sick or needs to go on the X.

I make a lot of trips to the frozen North to see my family and we sometimes get snowstorms in MAY so I don't need to be running BFG's in the snow. We ended up with a 245-40 Continental tire.

Even the Azenis in the rain hydroplaned bad, so when I went to visit, I had to run the stock wheels/snow tires. 500 miles of hydroplaning is a little scary. Now i can keep my sweet wheels and take pretty pictures when I'm there

42 pounds per wheel/tire.

They are really very wide.

azenis are one of the worst tires in the rain they have a pretty out dated design they dont channel much water away from the middle of the tire how many miles did you put on yours ? cant wait to see full pics of the car you guys should get the shep treatment (new gears ) on the 6spd.

I can't wait to see what happens when it drops to the ground either... they are REALLY wide. It honestly might be too much for this car, but we will see.

I ran 2 sets of Azenis back to back. I really liked them... dry on the street. Sucked in the rain and spun horrible at the track though, but daily driving, ripping corners. Good stuff.

the driver side is still jacked up, but it's going to be borderline... either really bad *** or really stupid.

lol at ricer's stance, she needs to be dropped as well.

We've been busy. No time to get our own stuff done.

I'll take some snow.

I feel a bit guilty knowing I'm washing my vehicles in cleaner water than most of the world has to drink, though. But life will go on.
theres no rules on when you can wash your car or lawn or flush the toilet in Arizona..

Is on the ground now but we are going to get dinner. I have some pictures on my iPhone (and I love my phone so much I can't simply call it a cell phone anymore )

After studying the pics for a while it'll help to decide.
