your rear pull doesn't look like its gonna help much, its more flared then pulled. roll it out more rather then up

It is flaired a smidge. I didn't pull up too high. A 215 40 or a 205 40 should only need a newspaper pull if that after it's spaced proper.

We'll see how it turns out in a week or so. I ran a ******* marathon and personal record pulling my 2 way out to sell to raise funds. 1 hour from sliding the jack under the car to pulling the diff out of the case. Subframe on the ground...... I felt raindrops.

Soo tempted to install some ksport air jacks on this peice of ****. Maybe next year.

Anyone have any experience putting a 245/18 on a 12"?

forrest says it can be done on the equips, but the homie at Discount spent an hour with a cheetah and the inflatable belt thingy. no luck.

255 will have more than enough stretch but the 245's would fit my roll better...

It depends on how stiff your sidewalls are. Some tires dont stretch worth a ****.

Although the $40 china performance joints i put on today stretch so good you'd think it was belladonnas butthole.

Anywho, put a 205 40 on a 17x9.5J today.

Gangster. Pics when i do the rears later on. Waiting to transfer funds from paypal to el banco.

Falkens are easy to stretch. If they were potenza tires the shop probably would have murdered him.

Most legit shops have a cheetah and ************ works.
