So are there 30 series 20" tires in a 345? I don't remeber seeing any when I looked a month ago.

Thanks! I was watching the auction but decided to pull the trigger immediately upon watching you post the auction. I had a feeling somebody else would.

Yeah, I'm not in the market until Winter (Wheels = tax return!), but I'm glad someone here got it! Can't wait to see the pics!

I would love to see a pic of your car and garage and all the parts you have bought. You are a machine!

Nice! I want these rims but the tires I would need to put on them are just too much money. When you go to a 20" 300+ rear tire, your easily going to spend $600 a tire. Too rich for me.
