I don't mind the lip stretching past the fenders. Looks kinda cool.

Thanks for all the info, guys!

Edit: Also, I assume the stock lug nuts are tapered? I'll try asking the seller to see if the holes on the wheel will match that style.

Edit 2: The seller just told me that valve stems aren't included. Can I just move the TPMS valve stems from the stock wheels over to these ones? Do new rims typically come with no valve stems?
I won't get into the stretching tire thing, as I don't do it and don't have personal experience. There should be plenty of info on the webs about it though.

Yes, our stock lug nuts are tapered. I don't think wheels usually come with valve stems, but if they can accept TPMS then reuse those so you don't have the annoying light on the dash. Otherwise, the tire shop will just put on a set and it shouldn't cost much.

Also, be sure to post pics of these once they're installed!
