Absolutely zero rubbing man. That's the first thing I tested after I torqued the bolt down. I can still flex it out completely to. As seen in the picture.

As for the exhaust, sounds amazing. Low rpms it's nice and deep considering its a v6. And even up in the higher rpms it still sounds good. Dumped its pretty loud though. Cruising at about 40 (kmh) it's almost un noticeable which is nice since I leave home at 5:30 for work. Don't wanna wake everyone up.

I've got a video I'll throw up later.

Go for 32's man. The 31's just look small. Especially after a tbar crank.

And I hated how they stuck inside the flares. With these ones and less backspacing on the rims they come out flush with the flares and look a million times better.

----------

throw on some good headphones and it almost sounds like it does in person. but its deeper in person, and its a better sound when moving. i still gotta get more video of it.

heres a good one showing what it sounds like driving. same things, with headphones its close to real life sound, but still a bit deeper.

I'd get 32s if you can afford it and fit it. However I respectfully disagree that 31s look small.

This one is on 31s and looks nice to me haha.

Haha I think body style has a lot to do with it. 31's looked so tiny on my truck.

Thanks man, yeah they're pretty damn aggressive for an AT. They grip really well even on gravel and loose dirt. I actually have to push the skinny pedal a lot to get em to spin. I'll never switch to a different AT after driving on these.

I'm thinking of getting those in a 33 next. That will be a couple years from now though.

Well they would be my recommendation!

Plus they have a 50,000 mile tread warranty.

Ohh hell yeah. My coopers have a "first 2/32s of wear" warranty. Ohh well If I get 40k miles out of em I'll be happy.
On another note, any future plans?

Not much for plans in the near future. I have some new speakers going in soon.

But not much planned besides that.

Distant future, few years I plan on putting long travel suspension on it.

You turn on the highs.
