All I had to do was take them to my local tire shop and have them balanced so it wasn't a huge deal, but they were supposed to be good to go right from LRS. Otherwise I had a good experience.
    Thanks Mike. I'll definitely keep that in mind in regards to the balancing.

    Awesome!
    You'll need to add rack limiters or wheel spacers on the front to keep from rubbing the sway bar and k member tho.

    I ordered both. That's what LMR recommended too. Thanks!

    If you only have rubbing issues when turning, then I would recommend the rack limiters over the wheel spacers.

    Good Luck!

    Ok, thanks. I'll definitely give it close inspection and let you know which way I go. Of course I have to keep in mind that at some point in the near future I plan to install the lowering springs. This may affect the fitment in a different way, no?

    Yes they arrived Friday. I was all set to install everything on Saturday morning but my fuel pump went out as I went to reposition my car in the garage. I decided to get that work done (plus a few other things) before putting the wheels on. No sense in taking a risk of having a shop ding up my new wheels until I'm sure it doesn't need to go back for a while. In the meantime it's killing me looking at those wheels and tires just sitting there!!!

    Geez.
    I'm starting to think this is your cars way of forcing a concours resto on it whether you like it or not.
    Haha!

    Tell me about it! I had a small amount of $$$ set aside for new springs/shocks as well but I guess that will have to wait a while longer too. Ugh.
