New wheels and tires!

I finally got my Helo Maxx 6s in today wrapped by some 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The only problem is I don't know who said they didn't have to do any trimming, but you do. I was backing up to the shop at home to unload the old wheels/tires and my left front tire pulled my fender flare. I had to trim it and put a screw in it from the bottom. I also had to trim the black plastic fender piece on the left side but not on the right side.

Thumbs up

Nice! I think those tires being 13" wide causes rubbing even on 33" height tires. Looks good though ... you put any lift on it?
