    Thanks for the info, if that's what you do I will take your advice on the subject. I want to do it the right way so I don't have to mess with again. Sand the whole bumper and start new. Any advice?

    I've noticed Nitto's latest new tires don't come in 16s or smaller.

    When I bought mine, they were listed as 57lbs on a few websites. Doesn't sounds like much, but I was taking weight into consideration when I bought them.

    Depends on the size. My email was from cooper directly, since they don't list them on their site. All the other sites I saw with the weight were inconsistent.

    Yea, all new Nitto tires are 17" and up (Exo, G2, Ridge). They say 16" and white letters are dead and won't invest in it unfortunately.

    your going to have to sand the effected areas to bare metal to try and clean as much rust off as you can. depending on how bad the rust is you'll need to treat it with a rust killer/converter then if pitted put a skim of filler over that area. after you sand the filler down it should be very thin all your trying to do is fill the pitting if any. then prime and sand make sure no bare metal bleeds back through if it does prime some more. then sand over the whole bumper with 400 grt paper wet or dry doesn't make much difference wetsanding helps keep the dust down. then you'll be ready to tape and paint. if you have more questions pm me i'm happy to help

    just go to walmart and get a cheap can of flat black and dust it around and cover what you want but keep it thin on the radiator fins
