Post your wheel and tire combos.
Just you wait. She pitched a head gasket which I'm using as an excuse to pick up a 5.9 Magnum out of a 98 1500. Explorer 8.8 swap pending. Then some much needed handling work. So excited. I'm really really pleased with how the 17's are turning out, I did a lot of Jeep and Intrepid/300C/Magnum forumlurking to find out if center caps and trim rings fit and they look just like I wanted them to (well, they will once the wheels are coated, still deciding on color). Hot Wheels!

Oh, right the paint. It's great for getting school kids to shriek, rednecks to give me thumbs up from the bus stop, and making soccer moms shake their heads angrily. And kinda sorta keeping the rustmonster off the body panels, but it's a PO's crackly housepaint nightmare up close. It's fun driving the Zebra Car, and everybody around town is "sure they've seen it before", including the guy who put the tires on, but I'm not sure I'm into animal print long-term. It's not a sure thing but there's a decent 80's metallic blue repaint (fender tag shows white/blue interior) hiding under most of the places it's chipped up, I've half a mind to get out there with the thinner and some rags and see if I can save it, but I'm afeared I'll spend ten hours to reveal a huge bare spot on the roof/hood/trunk.
