Added 2 Molle gear brackets over the wheel wells. Found them on eBay for cheap, good way to fill some unused space.

Wasn't able to balance my tires yet because someone broke our balancer this week and nobody told me until I was ready to balance my tires. So, as soon as that's fixed, they need to get some weight on them. Anyway, I'm real excited about it. Much taller than pictures make it out to look. My wife is 5'2" and I'm not sure she's going to be able to climb in without steps now! Lol

Buy some plasti-dip spray from Home Depot or Lowes, pull grill, spray on 4 of 5 coats, reinstall, smile and continue on.

With a lot of research! Lol. I found out which wheels would actually fit around the calipers by others trial and error and went with the wheels I liked that I knew fit. I got the black MB72's. From what I understood, if the 15" wheel has 3.75" or less backspacing, it SHOULD fit. I haven't ever tried it, but I do know these wheels fit. Was going to test fit first but was in a hurry and didn't think about it when we threw them on there and never thought about it until I saw your post. Haha
