    Sweet! Post some before and after pictures.

    You might have to recalibrate your eyes for where the right spot is for launching and loading, but I bet the driving part will be less stressful.

    What's funny is ,I went on the Xpress site and looked at the trailer they are putting the new H18's on and they come with 14 in rims. The new ones are smaller boats. Guess we were guinea pigs.

    Nope, there is actually plenty of room left. The lip of the fender curves down, there is actually 4 inches or so inside.

    Friend of ours owns a shop Extreme Truck Stuff here. They are ION 16 rims. Should be able to get them ordered at your location
