Other than the fact that the stock rubber isn't that great, it'll work just fine.

definitely upgrade to a better tire than the eagle rsa's. they're not bad, but they're not the best you can get for the price. most go with falken ziex's on the 501's. look it up.

Here is some pics of mine. I ran this setup on rough Chicago roads no problems at all. The stock tire gives a nice stretch on the rim. As for stock tires sucking they are alright for what you are doing. Here are some pics for you. I will also look for a closeup of the stretchon the rim

hey thanks for the pics, they look pretty good on stocks...just wondering is your ride dropped?

ChampionJeep

Its a little hard to tell but yes. Df210's with echo struts for the extra 1/2 drop in the front. I also run a 5 mm spacer in the rear.

N03L

is that right...thats cool man. i know this may sound stupid, but i dont really know much about cars. so could you explain to me why your using a 5mm spacer in rear? if you dont mind.dont understand why so many people are doing this?.....thanks man

The spacer is there to push the rear wheel out a bit to make it sit a bit more even with the front wheel.

is that why the rear tires look uneven compared to the front?
