I bet that your right about sticking 245s on a 7'' wheel, probably not the best idea I have ever had. Might try 225s all around or just score some 17''s

My first choice is Autowerks NW. Leif is great, but his shop is way out in Woodinville.

I had Auto Services West install the M030 kit and I was happy with the work. They are over in West Seattle.

WTB: Beat 17'' wheels

Hello,

I am looking for a set of cheep, ugly, beat up, 17'' wheels. As long as they are straight, I really don't care what they look like.

I am in Seattle.

Thanks,
