Default Test fit new wheels...something different.

I figured everyone is going bigger or more aggressive with their fitments as far as rims go. So I thought I'd go a different route...complete opposite direction.

So here's a few pics of the test fit. Only slapped on the rears for now.







maybe I should stretch the tire a little more?? what do u think.
