This must be in FAQ's somewhere since I am getting the silent treatment

Board member dannyewing posted pics (link) of his on the message board not too long ago. He had a full ART bag setup and 18 and 20 torq thrust ii's. I'm partial to big tires and he had 255/55/18 up front and 295/50/20 in back. It looks really good. I'm hoping to squeeze a 305/50/20 in back without too much trouble. When trying to buy wheels I was told it's best to measure your specific vehicle for backspacing (especially when hoping to squeeze in a lot of rubber), cause even 1/2" is a huge difference sometimes.

Go back to the message board and check out the "Wheel and tire fitment " sticky. Has pic's and info already.
