I like the BFG's. Not sure what the KME is, but I have BFG KM2's in the same size with the same wheel backspacing and I like them alot.

some news


the shop told me that the Mickey Tompson are not yet available (i would have to wait until august)

the shop propose the american racing atx thug instead .

Would I need a spacer with those? would my tires km2 fit?
Also these rims are only 17x8.5 instead of 17x9: is that a big difference?


do u know anything about the rims?

rim: AX399178573 17x8.5 -6 4.51 5x127 (5X5.0)
