Thanks
i got them for 600, and it came with the 2 rear tires(WOOHOO, THE EXPENSIVE ONES!) bought the fronts for 250 from a friend of mine, total of 850 mounted, balanced, and my car aligned... i got a sweet deal. and yes they are direct bolt ons, i got no rubbing issues, and everythings 100%, as a matter of fact, it lifted the car about 1 inch or a half inch, which is good cause i was tired ot scraping my nose everywhere
