That is another way forsure but I ordered mine already....Should have them in another week. Rims need to ship from the US to BC then BC to ontario. I ended up going with my original sizes and I'll mount the 255 rears myself.

Falken Torque 5 wheels in Gun Metal #### Front 18" x 7" 42 mm ##### Rear 18" x 8" 35 mm
Falken FK-452 tires Front 225-40-18 Rear 255-35-18

I am running the exact same Falken Torque 5 wheels in 7's and 8's with at 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 Falken Tires. I used a tire size comparator to pick the sizes on my 88. They are slightly larger diameter than the stock 15's but do not rub and fit the wheel openings very well. I want to see the 255's on these wheels. I may be ready to go a little larger. Which tire are you going to run?

I lived in England for 4 years, you dont know hell untill you deal with APO shipping via USPS/Military. Tracking numbers? Never heard of them. 2-3 day priority mail? Bah I have had priority mail take 6 weeks to get to me and parcel post packages? Try 6 months. So yeah, I am excited about the quick shipping I get now that I am back stateside!

Nope. No problems at all.

Just curious...

What brand are you running? TireRack does not have a street tire in 225 40r 17


Mnies are 18s. Tire is Hankook.
