looks good.. just noticed you might want to go 37's and if you do then you need to get 9in wide rims. 8.5 is the minimum for 35's and i wish i got 9's too.

i ordered that battery tie down once i saw yours. haha

This gem just showed up in the mail! Once my 35s get mounted, I will get this installed and finally have an accurate speedo!

@truckhigh - Thanks! Yea, I am just going to go with 35s. If I went 37s, I would have to re-gear to 4.88s and trim a ton. 35s will be plenty for what I want. The method rims are 17x8.5 with 0 offset. I wish they were 17x9, but I think that it should look good. I could always go with 18x9, but I will have to make a decision by this weekend, as the order will be getting placed on Friday! ...Haha! nice. Yea, It isn't an exact fit, but I just used some rubber grommets to make it work.

Wheels and Tires
So this past weekend I purchased some new wheels and tires! I should be picking them up tomorrow or Thursday.

Wheels:
Method Race Wheels MR309 Grid - Titanium 17x8.5
Tires:
BFG A/T KO2 35x12.50/17

On Friday I will be mounting my new front bumper and chopping my body mounts. Then when I get back into town on Sunday/Monday, I will mount the new shoes.

Pics to come shortly.

Drove up to NorCal and got my bumper mounted this weekend with @Troymclure

I cannot thank him enough for his help and give him a on his custom bumper!

Then I took the old on a road trip to Big Sur.

Yesterday, I finally mounted my new Method's and BFG A/T 35s. I haven't had a chance to clean her up from the road trip and take any decent pics yet. More pics to come, but I will tell you that she looks mean and sexy!

Speedohealer installed this afternoon and works perfectly! Now I am interested to see if the MPG gauge is accurate. I'll report back in a couple weeks!

Thanks @dkyleb I should have some pics with the new shoes up this week.

My first tire upgrade was to 285/70s and was happy with them, but always wanted 35s. Finally I just decided that it was time to pull the trigger.
