    Also note I said 4" not 4.5". An extra .5" makes a lot of difference.

    I used a deadblow hammer and just hammered them flush into the cross brace that's there. Mine were not bolted in.

    I also cut my exhaust off just at the end of the turn down from the over axel bend, also cut off the last exhaust hanger mount piece..

    But the spare fits in the stock location now :)

    In a week or so, I'll be able to add an actual opinion on this tire size. I ordered km2's to put on the tx wheels I've had for a while now. I have almost no lift on a 2009 dclb sport. Eibachs up front & the tsb's in the rear.

    My tires arrived at the shop yesterday, and I'm gonna try and have them installed this weekend. I just have to straighten out the tpms and lug nut issues. The new wheels require different lugs I think and need to see if they can cheat the tpms out without removing tires completely from old rims. If they have to remove them completely it's not a big deal. I'd prefer they leave the tires on though so with different valve stems so I have a set for emergencies because spare won't match. I plan on taking before and after pics. Any specific angles views..full steering lock, I don't think I can do stuffed in the wheelwell?

    I'm not promising, but if I get the chance I will. I can pretty much guarantee your standard street pics.

    Yep. Did you not read the part where I said I did rub?

    Did you not read further into the thread where I said I finally trimmed some plastics?

    Why am I wasting my time even replying to a troll just trying to start shit for no apparent reason when I have only tried to help people?

    Hmmmmm.....

    IMO it doesn't seem like he is trolling. Me personally, I only have a small lift and was happy to hear you say they would fit with very little rubbing with a small lift. It seems likely to me that with him also having a small lift, took your post serious when you said you didn't rub much which could have encouraged him to go with that wheel size. I'm not sure why you think he is trolling, but I certainly could be wrong.

    Nope. I've got better things to do than read 45 pages. Just happened upon that post which says, "barely rub when wheeling hard". I'm not the one trying to start something, I was just asking. I have no idea about your other posts. But, since you're going to be all angry about it, you should just keep on jacking off, jackoff.
