Much appreciated!

I'm actually looking into the same wheels but in mercury silver, so thanks for the tip.

Can I ask what made you decide to go with the 255/285's? I see alot of people that are running 245/275's instead.

Because I don't like the streacht look with a 245 tire on a 9.5 wheel and a 275 tire on a 10.5 wheel. The 255/285 in my opinion looks better and adds a extra comfort zone for rim protection.

Very nice setup. That Athens Blue really pops in the sun and the gunmetal GT7's are sweet. Do you have any rubbing with the 285's? What's up with the emlem on the fender??

Thanks again! You've made my choice in tires a little tougher now.

LOL

I've always wondered why people get tires that are just a tad bit small... I'm with you on this... the extra rim protection. Good up! Looking good there!

They look great. Nice to see what a set of GT-7's look like in gunmetal since I'm considering those for myself in the spring, just in slightly different sizes / offsets.
