1) go ahead, carve the bezel
2) it's original, don't carve the bezel!
3) buy another bezel and carve it
4) buy a bezel that's already carved

Bridgestone and Nitto are the only two companies that make 17 inch tires that will retain the stock tire diameter around 27 inches tall.

Don't call it a cease fire, unless you want to be shot. :skep:

Battery drains are caused by the drainer box, pass side behind dash. (aka iterior light time delay)

If your suspension is worn 255's will rub on front.

We will revote on spliting the C-3 forum shortly. (Especially after this escapade!!!) :lol:
