I can't wait to get em.  Next week I'll order the other 2 wheels, and then it'll take about 3 weeks to save for the tires...  I'm glad they fit just like I wanted.  I'm tired of looking at tire dimensions and all the planning, I did plan it all right so it's totally worth the effort.  I love when a plan comes together!

So hopefully in a month it'll all be done, then I can do the rear disc brake setup.  

All I have to do to prepare is Paint the Brakes, and roll back the fender lip where the red square is, otherwise the tires fit everywhere by more than 1"

Just had to type something...  I'm getting impatient. >:(   I want my tires!  I had to put a good little bit of work (read $$$) into somebody's car and they need a set of tires now, so hopefully in a month I can get mine.   Figured one of ya would be wondering what happened.   They're coming some day soon.

Why people let their cars slide like this I'll never know, it's only the second largest investment most people ever make. ???

I was wondering why you haven't posted pics.  Figured you just forgot or hadn't had time.

Got the first set of tires bought.  Guess I'll put some other tire reviews while I'm here... ;D

This car just got belts, oil change, trans flush, brakes, wheel bearings, flushed brake lines, wipers, light bulbs misc, and new tires. It had 4 different tires on it before and they sounded like all the wheel bearings were going out.  pulled left and right...  dang.

Falken Ziex S/TZ-04  in 31x10.50R15's   I got them at Discount Tire.  They cut me some deals because I'm going to buy a lot of tires from them in the near future.   They ride Really quiet and smooth up to 90MPH that I know of.  I like em a lot so far  We'll just have to wait and see how they do in rain.   I think They'll do fine.  Well now the kiddies will be safe.  :)

I got these for right at $500 with the free replacement certificates included.  and they have a 50k warranty.

Thanks fellas,   the tire recipients told me that too, they know how much I want my tires.   They're worth it the wait though. :)

I'd put a pic up of the focus tires, but they're blackwall and look just like every other BSW tire...  :D
I got yokohama YK520's for the focus.  205/50R16  with a 60k warranty.  They also ride quiet and smooth up to 90MPH...lol 

I think the trucks rating may only be upto 80MPH though, as I don't like going 90 in it. ;D
