Do they stick out? If not, I got first dibs when you sell them and I know you will! I sold my rims (see my avatar) because the back was rubbing too much.

No, they fit perfect!
I have 205 x 15 x 50's up front on Toyos, &
225 x 15 x 50's on BFG' in the rear.

It rubbed under a hard bump up front. I should have gone 195's up front.

They are not my style, but I had a bent stock rim. With these rims and tires, I eliminated wheelspin at low boost, and it is smooth up to 140mph.

Much better performance and ride all around, now the suspension feels real, real good.

I'll post pics soon. My camera was lent to my brother without my knowledge.

Hmm boost = shamed T/A
I'm curious to see how your rims look as well. I wouldn't mind those if they were BLACK mesh with maybe polished lip. Sorry to hear about your stock rim/digital camera.

Yeah u got the harley f-150 so you really know what your up against. If I remember right those things run a 12 second quarter stock, which means you probably into the 11's if not 10's DF. Good job man.

Stock L's run the 1/4 in mid 13's.
This one had all the goodies, and was running 16PSI.

I was only running 12psi.

We ran twice:

One from a dig, and one from a 25mph roll.

I am being gentle on the rear end because of the BFG's, but both outcome's where the same.

By the top of 2nd, I am about 2 car-lengths ahead, and then I shifted into third...by half of third gear, it was getting embarrasing for him.

I don't think he's ever lost before?!

I just cringe every single time I read about someone racing on public roads.

while I have high respect for what you have done to your car. I too hate to read about people racing on public roads. It is dangerous. There are tracks for reasons. You can be the best driver in the world but all it takes is that one time someone darts in front of you. I've lost friends to street racing.

I agree with you 100%.
The race with the Lightning was at Metrozoo, a closed
road after 5:00. It's two miles long, and 3 lanes wide eachway (one way), with an additional couple hundred feet of the sides of the road.

Absolutely no one could have come. It's as close to perfect as it can be.

I don't believe in Racing and endangering others.
