did it. don't have any pics available yet though. 11 inch progressives and a 180 55 16 dunlop sportbike tire. looks good and rides better. don't let anyone tell you that only the se 180 will fit on the stock rim.

Hey FJ, did you have to do any mods to get the 180 to fit? I was looking at the wide tire kit but it seems a little over priced @ $265. I have found alot of tires for around $150.

Eleven inch Progressive heavy duties set on the lightest setting with the SE 180 gets you down pretty low.







Good Luck

Tom
