DISCLAIMER: Just because one member did not experience rubbing with a specific wheel/tire combo, that doesn't mean that you won't either. Individual results may vary based on the type of driving you do and your suspension setup.

OK, so the idea here is for everyone that has changed their wheels or tires, etc to post up what they have, include pictures if you like. This way if anyone has questions about what will fit and what won't, they can see what everyone else has done and get ideas.

This is not a thread for discussion, so please post only if you are putting up information. Any posts not strictly on topic for this thread will be deleted. Questions about a member's setup should go through PM to that member. Also please note that if you do not post information with the wheel, the post will be deleted. Include the name/brand, size, and offset.

If you're not sure about one of the specs for the wheel, you can try looking at http://www.wheelspecs.com
