Thanks guys I got the rubber mounted when I went down to fargo for a car show this past saturday. I've been dying to get them one considering I had the wheel before I even had my car! ha ha.

Overall I'm very happy with them. No rubbing w/ my f-sport spring drop.

I had a set of AVS ES100's last year. They were literally the harshest riding, loudest tires I've ever had. I wouldn't run another set if they gave them to me for free. If you're considering Toyos, do yourself a favor and but a set of T1R's. These are fantastic tires, you won't be disappointed. And they're pretty affordable, to boot!

^^^

THANks for the headsup! lol

i was this close to getting the yokos. Yeah the only reason why its between the two is theyre on sale at this place at really good prices and i've been dying to get my rims on! so i figured it didn't really matter if they sucked ..i'd just replace them later on.

But proxy 4s are good tyres too yeah? LOL
my other option was pzero rosso..but i dont think i really needthem tbh.
thankz!

I wanted something different than the stock wheels and didn't want to add heavier wheels either. I do plan on dropping it, but have to wait till I can afford the F-Sport Bilsteins and Springs.

Besides, everyone is doing 20"+ these days
