Just washed the car and took some pics of the new wheels and tires. Wheels were $720 off ebay, brand new Sumitomo tires off craigslist for $550, mount, balance, and wheel locks $80. Not feeling like I dumped a shit load of money for some wheels/tires and having extra money left over to take a vacation, priceless ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif) ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) . Let me know what you guys think. I'll try and take some betters pics at a good location tomorrow.

nice! Is your Range lowered or does it just lower when the car is off? What size are those rims?

22s. it lowers itself when the car is off. I can manually select any available ride height. the pics are taken with air suspension on the lowest setting.

You're not going to believe me when I say that the ride difference is virtually none. I dont know wether its the tires or what, but the comfort is pretty much the same, I couldn't believe it. Especially after all the horror stories I've heard and read about SUV's riding like crap w/ huge wheels. It is still the most comfortable SUV I've ever ridden in . My friends and my girlfriend said that you can't even feel the difference. I can go over big bumps and potholes with no problem. The one thing I have noticed is braking distance has increased slightly, but thats a given. The wheels do not rub at all being 22x9, although I haven't tried driving the car on the lowest setting (unload) because you can't go over 20mph without it raising itself. I'm sure it would rub a little on the mud flaps if I were to ride it around on the "unload" (lowest) setting but I dont like looking like a low rider. It doesn't rub on any of the standard ride heights. Overall I am really happy with the upgrade.
I'm now looking for a nice big brake kit, clear corners and an HID conversion kit. Then comes the mono paint scheme.
