Hi Rick, I have put on mine the XLR V wheels from Bob (standby) on this forum and they look just great:thumbs I have Pirelli`s 245/45 19 on front and 255/40 19 on rear (just the reg. XLR V size) here`s a picture http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/harrysxlr/P4300002.jpg Hans sunburn 01-16-2007, 07:47 AM That looks great Hans. I love the color. I'm putting 255x45x18 front on 8.5 inch AZA Z-1 wheels and 275x40x18 rear on 9.5 inch AZA Z-1 wheels. The package should be in by early Feb.

Rick, thank you, I think with this big size tires it looks great but if you do this change why you didn`t choose 19`s? Hans sunburn 01-17-2007, 04:38 AM Hans, I was looking at 19's but, with the tire sizes I chose I would have to change the aspect ratio from a 55 to 45 up front and 55 to 40 in the rear in order to keep my rolling circumference close to correct. That could make for a stiffer ride (smaller sidewall) and the possibility of bending a rim on pot holes.
