Nice look, how wide are those tires? How many psi are you running?

Maybe it's the black on black look but they look bigger and definitely wider

I keep wanting to either get my factory wheels dipped in black or go way out there and get a set of ATX Slabs but at $399 x5...

I've been trying to spend my $$ only on things that are performance related and not much on things that are more aesthetics

Default 2.5" teraflex spring kit with 315/75- 16 general grabbers

I could make them rub by fully flexing the rear end, they would just touch the edge of the flare. I did have to trim the rubi rail back about an inch. The generals measure 34.75"Click image for larger version

285's will be a lot closer to a 33" and probably even less when measured.
