They are regular steel wheels from the Police Trucks.

Stock height for now, I get only a tiny bit of rubbing at full lock for a turn. Otherwise none at all.

Am I reading this right. You are tucking 315 75 16's on your Ex and you have not done anything to the suspension? You are only getting some rubbing on a full turn lock? There are guys on here with 4" lifts that aren't clearing them. I hope this is true cause this is what I want to do without a large lift. More pics please

Yes sir, been done on all three my ex's thus far. First one was bone stock, just bought it new and didnt want to void the warranty. I ran Yoke's and Toyo's

Second one again bone stock was a mule for me till I found my oil burner in stock form and on the cheap I refused to pay more than $25k for another Ex. I ran the V10 with stock suspension as well.

This one one I just picked her up yesterday and went right to the tire shop and had them mount and install the exact same tire combo as was on the 2000 V10 and my 2005 PSD.

IF I remember correctly there was a +30 offset on these rims. Which accounted for less rubbing than when I was running the stock Limited rims and using the 315's.

Other than that, thats what she is running Ill take some better picks today and post them. Next week is the new leafs, and shocks going in with a new steering stabilizer and the Billy Boat 4" exhaust so Ill be posting them as well

That's cool. I will have to find out what offset my 00 limited wheels have exactly. It would be nice to run 315's cause I am not a fan of big wheel wells.

With the 315's I'm running my speedo is about 5-6mph slow at 65. Know of an easy way to adjust back to normal?

I love the look of the all black! I've always wondered what the black rims would look like on my gray X. Anyone with pics?
