grimpy.

Looks great! Are you still lovin' the Pro Comps? I'm test fitting MT Classic II's on Tuesday.

With my current setup, when backing up and turning my tire just touches the plastic valence under my SR5 chrome bumper. It does not touch going forward. You bumper is obviously different than mine, but I would guess it's rubbing in the same area.

Any close up pictures of the Pro Comps and Grapplers? How does the wheel/tire combination sit in relationship to the Limited flare?

thanks bro... The pro comps are ok... I think pro comp just gets whatever wheels and have their own procomp center cap for it because it doesn't say procomp anywhere on the wheels besides the budging centercaps.

It sticks out a little past the flare, exactly how I wanted it to be so I am happy with the setup.

No close ups yet... Just some quick pics I snapped before my camera died... I have 3 batteries for the sob and none of them can hold a charge worth a damn.....

I have always been intrugued by the 295 Nittos. I like the size, since I am not into a wide tire (unless I ran a 35)

I would like to see some closeups of the new meats.

Have you pounded the pinch weld yet??

Here are some close ups kind of...

I pounded the pinch welds already... Looked at Jim's pics he sent me... very helpful... Now the rubbing is gone! Also did the pond liner gap fill and painted the rear wheel hub black.
