    Got the sheared bolt and and replacement bolt in. Tried one more time to torque to spec and sheared a different stock bolt. Got it out and a new one in as well.

    Well damn! Glad to hear you were able to get the busted bolt out and eventually fixed. Now I'm kind of wondering if the torque spec is off by a bit or if something else is going on.

    I also saw my new tires today, just waiting on the wheels. Can't wait.

    Just glad that since it's a new vehicle, the bolts weren't stubborn to extract.

    Just got a call from the tire shop letting me know that my wheels and tires are in. Have an appointment to get them installed at the end of the day! :)

    I'm just praying that the wheels clear the brake calipers. The tire/wheel shop said that it wouldn't have been in their system if it wouldn't fit, but I'm hesitant.

    What size are the wheels? I don't remember where I read it but I'm pretty sure @wayoflife said that 1.25" spacers with 16" rims worked out for clearance. I've also heard a few guys grinding their calipers to fit it (which I wouldn't have the balls to do).

    I have 1" spacers and new 16" wheels that they're mounting right now. Just barely cleared the calipers!

    And here she is. Now I just need to do the pinch seam mod as I do have a bit of rubbing right at the pinch seam.

    Are you thinking of putting spacers on? Or did I miss that... I seriously envy your tires.

    I have 1" spacers on there already. I don't think it would fit without. Doing the pinch seam mod right now. Wheels are momo, and tires are Fierce M/T 225/75/16.

    Thanks! And also thanks for doing most of the homework being probably the first stateside person to lift their toaster lol. Not sure what I would have done without your threads.
