MK6/BF Install and some data

So Christmas came a little early. Discount tire called a few days ago and said my wheels were gonna be on back order for a couple weeks. They showed at my door ready to install today.

So here's what I'm coming from and went into. The old steelies were shod with Cooper Discoverer LSX and the new combo is Level 8 MK6 with 265/75/16 BF Goodrich Advantage Sport LT's.

-The old tires/wheels were 70.2 pounds each
-The new ones are 58.2 pounds each
-The MK6's come with a 0 offset and a-10 offset. I got the -10's. The result is the wheels are pushed out a full 1-1/2" inches.
-As expected, the ride is MUCH quieter at speed. I expected it to be a lot better but these tires are super quiet. (at least for now)
-The ride is also much smoother and being one size up, they are noticeably more comfortable.
-I had to buy spline drive lugs separately and gorilla locks.
-Yes, it needs a bath and those ugly stickers come off the bumpers tomorrow
