Default Not a Focus...but...

...it's our Jeep. Over the last week I pretty much tackled all the changes you can see...De-badge, tint, rims, tires...Here is a before shot:



I actually wanted to wait till tomorrow so I have some time to take better pix, but I could not wait. These rims/tires give the Riot the more 'bully' look I felt it was lacking with the stock rims. The rims push the tires out about 1"-1.25", but not too much. I'm very happy I went with 18s. They drive like a dream. No issues with the TPMS which was already installed. Here is the Info:

MBM Battle 18x8 43mm
235/50-18 BFGoodrich G-Force KWDS













And to compare...Stock vs New set up:
Stock 215/60-17


235/50-18


I know I did a lot of things to it a 'normal' jeep guy would probably not do, but this is what I like and I am very pleased how it turned out....

Cheers, Ollie

PS: I will post some better pix tomorrow. Still gotta paint the calipers tomorrow to clean it up a lil more.
