FINALLY got my Boss 315's with Zeon LTZ's put on! Lots of Pics!

The wheels are 20x8.5 with 6'' of backspacing and tires are 305/55/20. Also had some Rancho 5000's thrown on while I was at it and the guys even painted my calipers for me. Have to run out but will have pics up very soon.

All put together:

















Here's a before pic of my tires:



And after: (mudflaps are gone!)



This pic shows how meaty these tires are:



I drove around all day and these tires are absolutely silent compared to the FC-II's that I had on before. I can actually hear my exhaust now whereas before I couldn't. These tires are actually about an inch taller than the 33x12.50R17's that I had on, even though technically they're both a 33''. I just have to get my AEM Brute Force Intake put on now and I'm good for a while!!!!

Nice! I wish Cooper made those Zeon LTZ's in more sizes though. They really are some nice looking tires.

I know what you mean about the sizes. I guess we should be lucky that they have the these 305's out though because for the longest time they didn't. They'll probably come out with a 35'' before long too.

I researched tires and swayed back and forth for over a long time (those who have been on the forum for a while can attest to this). I'm so glad I made this decision. I love the look of both the sidewall and the tread pattern and they're just so quiet for a tire this aggressive. Not to mention the cost is far lower. I got these for $375 CAD each but the BFG's were way over $400 and the Toyo's are over $500! I couldn't be happier.
