Camera is still lost so no pics.
Turns out my wheels have 3.75 in of backspace... ungodly amount of backspacing.

Like my steering box... They had a hell of a time. I was quoted for three hours, it took them 8 and a half hours.

I got my moneys worth... took so long, they threw in two free oil changes.
exactly because then i get frustrated enough then something ends up breaking. lol

If you just can't stand how they look, I may take em off your hands for the low, low price of shipping

Hahaha.... Maybe if I was in better financial standing, I might consider it. And you cant run them on the tires you have, they are 15x10's.
Wouldnt be that much of a loss though. Bought five of them for 100 bucks, a couple days ago.
Today I found a set I would have liked to buy instead. Dammit.

Cant turn back now. My mechanic said he wouldnt mount my 31's on 15x10 wheels again....they were so much fun.
