Default Another 17 inch convert

I just got my 17 inch rims and tires today. Yes I got the Torque Thrust II's. Sorry but they look so good. I put 255/50/17 BF Goodrich T/A KDWS on.
They are the same height and section width as the stock 255/60/15, so they fill the wheel well nicely. No interference with stock trailing arms. I just wish I could post some pics! :cool: :D :cool: :D :cool: :D :cool: :D
