i'm curious, why do people refer to wheels / tyres as "shoes"?

cheers

because "shoes" and the rubber on the bottom is what keeps your feet/legs, (i.e, what allows you to move) in contact/connected to the ground, the same way wheels and tires are the only thing that literally connect the car to the road. depending on the sport, athletic shoes can increase or diminish one's performance. football cleats won't work on a track like a spiked track shoe. hence the analogy for shoes.

Lips are much larger than usual. I guess you can run these with the fender flares. Looks amazing!
Thanks! Yes, they were custom spec'd with calculated offsets. They were actually a bit off (due to my miscalculation) and I ended up having to order a new pair of lips to make the wheels fit properly. They are still a bit aggressive, but they do not rub and I prefer the beefy stance of the wheel/tire setup.
