Got mine shaved saved atleast 1/2 of what new real whitewalls cost, the two fronts are 2" and the backs are 1 1/2 " , i didnt have 4 of the same tires, if you do go the shaved white walls the tires with white lettering makes bigger whitewalls then tires with pinner whites,I dont now for sure but think that since my rear tires are one size smaller in height then my front tires is the reason why the white wall is smaller on my back tires

I put the taller tire up front to fill up the wheel well opening more and the smaller tires in the back to try and get the rear lower

What color are you going to paint the rims? Are you going with hub caps?

Thanks. Funny you say that, they were actually supposed to be metallic copper. My buddy owns a powder coating shop, and I told him what I wanted so we got on the Internet to look at what was available for powder. We found a nice metallic copper, but when I went to pick them up they were closer to root beer and I liked the color so I just kept them.

I've gotten tons of compliments on them. What I like about them is they're different.
