Too cool! I have a pair of the wide wheels but I don't think they will work with my tires.

I have about 100 of those dealer vanity plates, I need to go through them and see if I can find a neat one to put on the front of the Panel Truck.

P275/60R-15 on the rear, reasoning on the front wheels is that anything wider than a 6 inch wide wheel will rub on the lower control arms, sure i can grind away at them but i didnt want to do that. That and i already had the wheels.
