how do you relocate a bolt? do you have to weld a new bracket or JB weld some brackets on?

why didnt you go 275s? would that have been too much?
I am sure a 275 street tire will fit no problem. I picked a 265 so I can swap the tires on to my other wheels with out being too large for a 9.5 wheel.

I plan to try a set of 275 slicks on it this summer.

Trimmed the fender seam just past where the bolt is and just drilled a new hole through the fender and bumper seam. It's now held together with a zip tie. Has worked great for the past 4 years.

I was hoping to see some 17/18x11's in here! Such disappoint.

How wide are the evo's that there is no poke going on?

^ I believe you are looking for the stance thread sir.

You won't find much "poke" in this thread. Sorry for such dissappoint.

Hmmm to fit them? They're on currently and I have no rubbing issues with my slight roll. The tire doesn't rub that rear bolt either. I can fit my finger between them.

Has anyone tried to mill these wheels 3 - 5mm off the mounting surface?

Just like someone said "onces you get coilovers". I've had 3 sets of these wheels of course different color but yeah they r a pain to fit.

18x9 +30 is good. thats what i run, with coilovers. just have the rear rolled. i'm considering doing a bolt relocate, but where I sit, its perfect in my eyes.
