Fresh off the truck, four brand new BF Goodrich G-Force sports in 205/50/16.  wow, these tires are sexy in person. They looked kinda dumb in the picture but I have to say I really love the looks of them. The tread kind of curves its way into the sidewall giving it the impression of a more low profile tire.  Just a beautiful thing really. Also got half my alignment kit. Crash bolts are in and I just need to get the plates from newedge (should be here next week). Checked out the bolts and read the instructions. Turns out you ahve to cut some nuts off the control arm. So then it was off to the tool store to buy a new angle grinder! God I love tools. Cant wait to give em all a spin!

Excellent!

I just got my 17's on FINALLY! (yep, the ones I won from MFF.com back in Oct 2003!)

Threw some Kumho ASX's on them and they look good...shame I don't have the $$$ for a drop.  She still looks pretty.

Once dan can figure out how to pull the pics off his camera into the PC I'll put up some pics.  I am sooooo overdue for posting pics it's crazy!

DAN! get on it man!

Oh, btw Dan got some of these G-force tires too...I haven't seen them yet, but he's also not had them put on yet.  We'll have to get you both to post some pics!

Hi TXFO
Let us know what you think of the new tires once you've had a chance to go play. I just flat-spotted my rears and will be replacing shortly.

Yeah I'll post up about them. I want to get them on soon but Im waiting on the rest of my camber kit to arrive. Dont wanna roast the new tires. I'm telling you though, these tires look so hot. the tread rating is good for UHP tires (340) and the sidewalls are just amazing looking. I find myself staring at them throughout the day..............

I know what you are saying. The first set of Yokomaha A008 that I got fascinated me for about 2 weeks before I got them mounted. Put one in my office on a chair so that I could look at it. This is one of those "You know you are a motorhead when.... " :D

Glad to her you got them in. I need to get mine mounted still.

As for the control arm they should unscrew... I had to cut nothing and I removed the entire rear suspension. You will only have to cut if thay are rusted in there. Get a long breker bar and after spraying with penitrating oup go to town on taking them off. Remember if you use your legs you get more pressure on the breaker bar..:D:D:D
