Awesome, love when someone does their hw before slapping new wheels/tires on.

Just for reference, how much did the stock tire/wheel combo weigh?

Didn't get a chance to weigh it as it was starting to rain as I was changing it out so had to hurry..will check that when I mount these for real..

I had wanted to do 17x9.0 +35mm with 245s but i think that might be a bit too much for a front now, the search continues
