Dont know the exact price but i know this much they aint going to be cheap! But every1 seems to say good things about them and they look the bee's knees :lol:

But however i have had some second thoughts to how much i will have to cut off my car to get them on!

Post by: Darren on July 15, 2007, 21:20:19: That's a bit optimistic. I ran 245/75 Trac Edges on my DI for over five years with standard height suspension. To avoid the bodywork it's necessary to trim a little bit out of the inner and trailing lips of the rear wheel arches. You can see how I did mine here.
