Finally a proper thread for the fitment I want!!!

Can't wait to see your new wheels mounted Robert! hopefully one of these days I get to see your G and Z in person.

Sam, that's a nice new pic I haven't seen before.

BTW, OP why not go with coils instead of springs? Just curious...

Thanks! Fat Tires, or at least, proper tire fitment FTW!

Thanks! Hoping to order them end of July, start of August. 6-8wks is the normal turn around and that will place them at my house right when I get home.

And I'm choosing springs over coilovers basically because I don't want to spend a lot of money on the car. Hell... I might not even do springs cause it's a lease.
