Some of you may remember my post about my new 99 Rodeo LS. Prefect leather seats, power windows, locks, A/C, Cruise, Kenwood deck.....

Anyway, had a rod knock so I got it for a smidge over $1000 after tax, license and auction fee. Pulled the motor, had the crank welded and reground and new rod a main bearings and it's quiet as a mouse. Came with some dumb looking 20 inch wheels with low profile tires. Went to a wrecking yard and got a set of 15 inch alloys with some good tires already on them for $250 and now it looks like a 4x4 instead of a pimp mobile. I have a pic of the 20's on there but my CF card reader is busted. even with used stock alloys it looks way better than those pimp wheels.

The tires are 31 X10.5 X 15 and they are a little tight. They rub on the rear bottom of the fender when turning tightly. I'm just wondering if I need to do a little lift here to gain a smidge more clearance. Any thoughts?

Yep. Still have the old one but we have to many cars and some need to be sold. And by to many I mean 7 or 8. I've lost count. Let me see here:

2000 Hyundai Accent
99 Isuzu Rodeo LS
99 Dodge Grand Caravan
97 Chrysler Sebring
97 Dodge Neon
94 Isuzu Rodeo
94 Saturn SL2

Yikes.
