Default Anybody running 16x8's?
I might have a good deal on a set of 16x8's but I wanted to see what they might look like, anyone running them or have pictures? I also need tire sizes, was thinking 245/50 up front and 255/50 out back. Thoughts??

They are 16x8 and are matched with 255-50-16 Goodyear Eagle HP-Ultra-Plus tires. More pics at the links below.

Nice! Did they require any modications, i.e. spacers, adapters, etc. Do the tires rub at all??

No spacers or anything needed. The front tires did rub a bit when new only on very tight turns. They don't any more.
