Yeah its not bad but I know its there. You pretty much need to look at it close to see it...no air is leaking so im gonna roll like this until the stockers go back on then get them refinished. Actually I am surprised that with the 25 series in the rear that they are perfect still and the fronts with more meat on them are bent.

I just installed the same wheels and tires!

What size are you running in the back? I just lowered and it's rubbing when I go over bumps. I'm 285/25/20. I am lowered as well, but you look to be too. Oh, and I put 5mm spacers on the front and back, though they were only required for the front. You?

Be careful out there man, we dont live in Florida. My 20s lasted less than 2 weeks. Never again.
Would suck to see you lose money on such great wheels so quickly.
My rear /25 also survived unlike /30 in front.
It does look nasty though..ah well.
