looks good josh - you have any scrubbing issues over bad bumps at high speed ? I've had a few issues just with 235's on the EB. Never had the same issues on the EL though now i think about it.

that looks 100% better Josh. Are you using adapters/spacers for the rims or are they e-series replicas ?

Not trying to be rude, but that would have to be the stupidest thing to do, putting on non e series when there already are copies floating around...

Rims looks sweet, still not lovin the scoop or grill though, sticks out a bit to much for my liking.

Have you got the front of the kit in the shed?
