Yea, but they make such great power and sound together...next year I'll have to go to boom tubes to clear the TA unless I can come up with enough cash for a MWC Fab9. Then I'll get my suspension right on big n lil's.
There's no way I'd trade my setup for yours unless you had some radials on the back though. I'd have to do alot of grinding to make them fit + I'd be downgrading substantially in the tyre department. Right now I drive it everyday, 80 miles on the hwy, so ET streets would be used up in a week or so lol. Guess I just need to pick up some 315 radials for now.
For you and your issue, why not get some 10 spokes. They are cheap 17's and the best looking stock wheel for a 4th gen IMO. I bought my last set with brand new tyres for $400.
