I too had the same problem with the ones I put on my truck. I ended up using a pair of angle cutters and cut the sum bi$%^ off.

My car had the gold pin stripe along the bottom when I got it, they were dual stripes. I pealed them off as soon as I bought it.

You should check your tire air pressure at every fule-up -- erm you would have prevented the lock up or at least let you know it was happening :rolleyes:

Also going on my "understanding" of tire dimensions

I would like to see these on an 03 - they are basically the same size as Blowns Golds....

This rim and tire package weigh less than those and are 17" rims - I just would like to see it to satisfy my couriousity
