I just got my 26" Esinem floaters, from Customwheel.com I might add (great guys). I test fitted the rear wheels and it all looked good. Seemed to fit okay without any rubbing. I haven't tested the front yet.

So I'm wondering if I'll have any fitment problems in the front?

I'm also wondering if I'll have any odometer/sensor issues (or any other technical issues)? Anything I should take notice of? I'm also wondering how I can get my odometer recalibrated?

look out for the obvious, pot holes, speed bumps, sharp turns ... as far as the odometer and sensor theyre gonna be a bit off the dealer can fix that

Steve, how much did you trim off and what did you use to do it? Do you have any close up pics of the areas you trimmed? Also what size tires are you using?

i actually used a pair of pruning scissors to trip the plastic i just need to go back and file it a little so it looks neat, can't really see it though. i also had to cut the little black cap that goes right in front of the running board and banged in the metal a little so the tire wouldn't rub at all. covered it all up in some dupont bed liner spray and it looks better then stock. i will take and post some pics tommorow. i used a sawall to trim the corner of the bumper

Watch driveways and potholes as said, keep an eye on your air pressure in changing weather, a few lbs can make a difference.
