This is from a current Craigs list add where I live in Raleigh, NC. OW with Black Chrome? I think. I have Matte black Durbans as you can see in my pic.

Rovos look 10x better in person. They fit great and quality is fantastic. For the price, I couldn’t find any fit or finish flaws. Only grip was AM shipped them with the caps floating around in the boxes, so half of my tabs were broken from the wheels laying on them.

Also, there are reports of NVX wheel fitment issues on the IRS which precludes the center caps from fastening securing to the wheels. Look crappy not having center caps.

FWIW, you cannot use the stock lug nuts. I recommend getting gorilla locks and the slimmest low profile wheel socket you can - wrap it with electrical tape, and not mess around with trying to fit a regular socket in the lugs.

295/35 Nitto NT05s; only because that’s what AM had for a package deal. Def too narrow, would recommend a 315 for sure.

Can you just slap 305s or 315s rears on the rovos without anything done to the body ? Is fender rolling needed or spacers ?

Yes, you may need to buy the Lo-pro IRS bolts just to make sure. These look better than the rounded bolts.
Should not need to roll fenders if you don't use spacers. I had to roll with 315's only when i used spacers.
