Pics of your wheels/tires?

Im trying to get a feel for how the different backspacing and width wheels look so post up some pics of your wheel/tire setup. Be sure and include the specs on the wheel ie width and backspacing.

Thanks,
Will

Re: Pics of your wheels/tires?

Thanks for the pics.

Im pretty much decided on Torq Thrust IIs, I just wanted to see pictures to decide on whether Id go with 17x8s w/ 4" backspacing all around, or 15x8s in front/15x10s in back.

I'll say it again - there are no stock square bodies in Texas. They're apparently all badass. Matter of fact, that's going in my signature.
