Are your new sneakers on 16'' rims?

Nice, I am looking at the same tires, but i might go with the goodyear wrangler territory, they seem to have better snow traction ( witch i see 3-4 month a year and i keep chasing it up the mountains). I am looking at getting 16'' wheels and was wondering if they would fit over the brakes ( i have the 18'' option).

Yeah 16" will definitely work over the brakes, any D1/D2/RRC/Def can fit 16" wheels.


I would definitely not suggest the KM2s for snow, ever. Unless it's perhaps deep snow. I have a set of studded snow/ice only tires for the winter.

Looks good ZG! How do those TF HD's ride? I was thinking about going with the mediums as I don't have any bumpers/winch yet. How much lift did the HD's give you?

Thanks Charlie, that's a 2" HD lift with custom 1.75" front, and 1.25" rear spacers. The ride is pretty rough, even more so now with the KM2s crazy thick sidewall. But compared to my lowered S60R on 19" wheels it's like air!


I've netted about a 3.25" lift.

Put on drilled & slotted rotors & ceramic pads. MUCH better braking that what I had previously.
