Thanks! Are you using 235/35/19 for the front and 265/30/19 for the rear?

Lastly, are the lips of the TSW Bremmas polished or painted? Hard to tell 100% from the pics.

Yup, 235f/265r. When I had it up on the lift I took a peek and with the Falkens it looks like plenty of clearance left for a 275 out back...
Bremmas are silver painted spokes w/ polished lips (that are in need of a little TLC lol)
