In the first pic, it looks like there is a problem with the drivers front tire, like its over inflated and has a big hairy bulge??? Thanks for sharing the photos.

How's the power with those tires on there?

You are absolutely correct. Added to preflight checklist to remove said bulge before driving. He feels camouflaged there.

I only have about 8 miles with them under my belt and that was going in for an alignment which by the way required me to return home to swap back to stock wheels because their rack wasn't wide enough for those wheels. I noticed a reduction in acceleration but it has plenty of power for a 17 year old. Not a drastic difference though.

Thanks Aaron. The tire shop employees sure did like it too. He is sure proud of it and I think he will definately be keeping it clean and take care of it. He has named it shark.

Not my cup of tea, but it looks pretty good.

The truck is really looking good. I'm sure you and your son are really enjoying this project and the time you're getting to spend together.
Oh, I think with some minor fender trimming you could squeeze a similar tire/wheel setup on your Avalon.
