Must be Wheel Season

I just made a deal on a set of 18x9 FR500 with Michelin PS2s. 275/35 up front and 295/35 out back. I should be picking them up on Tuesday. Super stoked.

The 295's really have a lot of meat. Heck, even the 275's are a lot bigger than the 255's that used to be there. I'm getting the front tires mounted in the morning (already dropped them off), then I'll wash her pretty good and post some good pictures.

Yeah. One of the pullies wasn't tightened down all the way, so when it wiggled that belt got eaten. Tighten it up, throw on a new belt, and I'll be on my way.

I've seen mine on the back of a tow truck. Such a sick feeling! Glad it's nothing serious.

I'm liking it man it looks great! I can't wait to see it in person.

Ouch about the belt. Belts can cause some havoc when it goes wrong haha. On my old truck the tension pulley seized up and made the belt jump apparently because it grabbed the dipstick and wrapped it around the belt. But it looks like a simple fix in your case.
