Default Machiavelli Zaints and Wiiiiiide rears

Here we go... With the change to 2wd, I needed more traction out back, and smaller tires up front.

I had custom 3 pc billet aluminum wheels made -- Machiavelli Zaints.

Fronts:



Rears:





But since the tire choices were so limited, I had to go with a lower profile than I wanted... Here's the new ride height out back:



(Sorry for the crapping pic )

Here's a front to back DS view:

They need at least 11" rims as I recall. Thats why I bought the custom zaints They are 20x12 in the rear -- room for more tire, but I'd have to ditch the leaf springs (still may do that this winter -- but don't tell my wife that! )
