+ 1 Michelin PS2's and BFG KDW's etc. (same company) are usually wider than other brands of the same size.

Agreed, the look is a bit ricey b/c the tire doesn't fill out the wheel. Love the wheel style though!

Love the finish...love the style! Work wheels are the *****! You get a stretched look on a 275 with the 10.5. If you did a 285/25 like I did there is no stretch....But if you drop it on coils/springs you will have to shave the rear fenders and you will def have to go lower profile up front. They style/finish you chose is hot enjoy them bro

Very nice work (ack, pun)

Definitely a great result and yes your set is one of the first sets of WORK Gnosis GS5 in the USA, and the first with Black Shadow (BKS) Finish

Looking forward to seeing the photoshoot!

Hey nice setup on your F congrats.

The reason your wheels are sticking out past the tire is because it is too small for the size of your rim. To explain a little more, a 275 tire is spec for a 9.5-10" width of rim, yours is a 10.5" rim. You would have needed either a 285 or 295 tire to have that protection you are refering to. This is why we run a 295 tire for our IS-F custom wheel builds and it comes out perfect
