They are 30x9.5 15s Maxxis MT754. I might try and fit 31's in the future but, will probably need a different offset wheel.

those pics, have just inspired me to redo my suspension on my coily, mine is sagging badly.
if you go the 31s go for the 15x8 -24 offset rims, or keep the tire skinny like a 9.5 instead of a 10.5 and you should be fine.

Any more pics?
Done any more to it?

So the Recaro seat came out of an EVO and bolted in without too much trouble?
Or did you have to make up custom rails etc?
