Those wheels and your sizes are right on the money! Don't listen to everybody bagging on plus size wheels. You don't have to look any further than every new high end supercar to see that you know what you're doing! It's not bling, it's high performance styling. 22s all the way around is bling.

It's about a forty hour job. Some do it in less time, others take longer.

It's a pretty wide range of prices to install mini-tubs.I've heard as low as $2500 and as high as $14k, yes fourteen thousand.

Spoke with a shop in California and they said about $2,000 in labor if I supply DSE kit. Amazing how easy it is to go down the money pit rabbit hole!

Yep. You'd be lucky to find a shop that charges 50 an hour these days. If you've got basic skills, it's not really that difficult of a job to do.
