Does anyone look at this forum anymore. I ended up going with toyo 235/40-18s for the front and 275/35-18s for the rear Pics to come as soon as everything arrives at my door.

ya need to leave a post here for a week to get enough responses to make a good decision.
sounds like you got some good stuff, kinda tall overall height but still a good fat tire out back.

You realise that the 18X8.5 with a 35 offset wont work without a spacer or other suspension mods right? Minimum for a 8.5 up front will be a 30. your rears should fit, but it'll be awfully close to your trailing arm.

Then you have one odd ball FC and or suspension mods already in place. Good for you.
