Looking good, those tires are probably my favorite AT tire for the bigger rims running a lower profile tire.

I was very close to running the Terra Grapplers in this size. Instead stuck with 275/45/20 in a Cooper Zeon LTZ. I like it though.

Question: Did you put the wheel arch mouldings on for looks, or was it a necessity running the bigger tyres?

I put those wheel arches for looks, long before I got new wheels.
Wheels are 20" model off Cayenne, got them on eBay for around $1K.

I like the new tires, however they do have a llittle noise at a higher speed, not too bad though.

Looks great, I've the 265/65/R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my '04 VR6. They are possibily the best tires I have ever put on my T-reg.
