Put the rims I got from Ryan on tonight to make sure they did fit before I had tires slapped onto them.... they don't rub... but they're a tight fit!

Thanks Ryan!

Haven't put the tires on yet....

I have to go to the Mazda dealership today to cash in my free oil change and pick up some filters... once done I'm going to swing by the place Scott suggested and put some BFGs on there. Jim/MUDGUTS is suggesting 235/60/15

I'll let you know exactly what I decide once I get back home

Congrads on your recent purchase.

I like the look of a fully filled wheel well.

I wish I had the money to max out my corners with a couple 275/40-17s up front and a couple 315/35-17s in back.

Well no luck.... they said the BFGs are on back order... they'll call me Monday to see if they can have a pair drop shipped direct.

Otherwise I'd have to wait 3-4 weeks.

Oh... and I don't think the wheel wells will be all that full.
When I took the 17's off last night and put on the 15's... ACK! Looks like I had Hot Wheels tires on it!

Inflate the tires that are on there already and do a big burnout at your house. Bye Bye Mosquitos. Hope you get the tires in time.
