What brand and model are the rims? They look nice.

Whoever said "Money can't buy happiness", didn't know where to shop.

Looks great... We are thinking of going to 16" E's on our Cougar 290RKS. Do you have any before and after measurements for the tire clearances? and was there a possible clearance problem on the geared shaft for the slide extender bar?

TIA
