I think Nerdrum's stretching 215's on 8.5. I don't think 225 would be a problem.

thats where i got my falkens from. they have bomb prices on tires.
i got 4 falken ziex tires in 225 45 17 for 95 a piece plus tax and it was like 411.xx. and i paid 30 bucks to mount and balance them. america's tire wanted 568 for all 4 mounted and balanced. they can kick rocks.

well fortunately for me, i live close enough to them that i can just go and drive to pick up my parts. hopefully they come through with my rims this friday so i can go ahead and get my lug nuts and dismantle my front end.

and as for your second post, it was irrelevant to this thread.

read my signature.
it states i have an fg2.
and i wont post pics again until about a month or 3 weeks from now.
i might when i get my wheels. but who knows. i might just have the h-t members guessing until i get the wheels and the other items.
