Default Those of you with Blacklines and new wheels

So anyone out there with a blackline and already replaced the wheels... *Except you Jay* lol We are not worthy.

Did you go with the same sizes front and back? I know the rear most went to the 3.5.... but on the front did anyone go with any bigger size other than the 21x 2.15? Getting ready to get some wheels for mine and was seeing if anyone had gone with any other sizes and if you had any problems with the other sizes.

Well my original plan was to do a 21x2.15 up front and a 18x4.25 in the rear. There's tons of clearance to the belt and the 4.25 rim would make a 150 tire look good under the stock fender. I don't know what happened to that plan but my current one got way more expensive then that first plan that I had haha.

Thanks Jay.. I would have not guessed the 18x4.25 wheel w/ the 150 would have fit....before u started with the 260 what lowering method did u use?
