Finally, wheels on, M tech too...
#1
Finallyl got all this stuff mounted and properly squared away. I'm really suprised at how good the ride quality is with this big setup. It rides at least as good, if not better, than the Bridgestone RF's that came off it. The PS 2 is super expensive, but rides and performs beautifully. And I have no interference at all. Just thought I'd show these so you can get an idea of the location in the fenders, and the ride height (OE sport package). Thanks to the advice from you guys who helped me with the tire sizing. Hope the pix come up and aren't too big (first time). Thanks...

Congratulations!!!
Looks Great and I bet they look even better when the car is being driven. Its funny that you just posted this as I've been getting info from Poleposition (thanks for the help) since he's the only one to have mentioned and installed this wheel on the board previous to you.
Good luck and enjoy in good health!
PS....MORE PICS

Yes, I owe Poleposition props, as he is the one who turned me on to this setup a good while back. No, I have not yet experienced any fender contact issues. I'm just as suprised as you guys, as really, the 6/7 series wheel should be ever so slightly more agressive than the 5 series setup. Here's a couple more, and I'll try to grab some shots from the rear. Thanks for the complements--this is a really good board to be on, and I've been on a bunch of em.
