Yep, but damn they look nice. I contacted them and am awaiting a reply.
If several orders were placed a discount may be available.

Sorry to bring this back from the grave BUTTTT, Im thinking about having some stock 17" aluminum wheels widened to support these tires.
390/40/17

# Tread Width: 12.1"
# Section Width: 14.8"
# Diameter: 29.5"
# Circumference: 92.7"

Does anyone see a problem with this?

How much should i widen the stock rim for these tires.
Im thinking 10.25"
