26" tires on fb = badass fitment

got a set of 26x9.5x17 michelins today for free from a buddy who was moving they have close to 100% tread on them too! i only got the backs on today because the runflats i had on before are a BITCH to take off with the tire changer,

pic is from a crappy phone but the tire fitment is tastey....and they hook up like crazy tomorrow ill get the fronts on and take pics with a real camera lol

I'm running 26 inch tall tires all the way around on my FB and the only issue I found is that the front will rub if you do not remove the inner plastic liners...

Badass? Well, about half right.

I run tall tires because nobody sees fit to make a 245/50-14 snow tire for some reason. And the only 17cm wide rally tires sold in the US are 65cm, they don't sell the fat 60 or 62cm tires here.
