255/40s are pretty bulky tires.
You lookin at the same pics as the rest of us? They definitely looked stretched, not ridiculously stretched but more than normalOriginally Posted by CandlestickPark
What are your wheel widths? Tires don't look stretched at all to me.

Good eye. Stupid tire went flat within 20 mins of being installed. I'm getting a new tire tomorrow. Originally Posted by G2FLIP4

I guess I wouldn't consider a 255/40 on a 9.5 rim a mild stretch. Looks normal to me. But I'm into aggressive fitment (to a point) so I guess my gauge for stretched tires is different than some.Originally Posted by G2FLIP4

Looks good. I would go w/ a 255/35 on the rear though. Please get center caps.

Normally, I only like it when OEM brake calipers are black... but in your case, I think they would look really nice if they matched the wheels.

Thanks. I had them painted after another member pointed out that the chrome trim won't match my bronze rims. I'm going to have the handles painted twilight next. The mirror bases will be painted flat black so I don't have to deal with them going gray every few months.Originally Posted by AARONHL
I'm more impressed by the de-chromed trim/handles than the wheels...
^ I'm not sure if it will be too much. I'm still looking at/for pics of others who have matched them. I still might but I know how the black looks already and I'm ok with it.
It already has VA legal on the front windows. The rear can only go another 15% darker.

TB would look awesome IMO. Color matched FTW.
