I'm dying to put the Kai's on for the first time, but need tires and spacers. Lucky for me the Grams and Kais are both the same offset. So, whatever spacers I choose for the front will make both of them look flush. Just need to decide whether I want to stretch a 215 on my Kais (8.5w) or run a meaty look w/235s.
or meet somewhere in the middle with 225's. I think the 225's look good on the 8.5. It's only slightly stretched. You want some tire on the ground w/ a stage II sir.

I don't think it will stretch enough to give it the look I want. The 225s on the Grams now, grip real nice with the stg 2 .

Yeah I got it. Looks great up there. Quality is iffy but it's not too bad for $125. I'd never pay $250 for it though.

Soem double sided tape and your good (got the same one)... you really can't justify spending $125 more on something with a bit better fitment...
