For those that are into the stock appearance on a performance tire...Diamonback has a process where they take any modern tire and shave/glue on the sidewall of your choice. It's an excellent way to go because you get the most recent modern design tire with the looks you're after....rather than other companies using 30-40 year old molds with outdated design. Best place to buy the OEM appearance tires.

You can get the drag radials with redlines, goldlines, whitewalls, white letters, etc...

Whether or not Adam went this route, only Adam can say, but that's how I'd do it and the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the picture

I bought these letters and glued them on with the provided adhesive, seemed like crazy glue. Results are better than I expected.

Ya, I was really glad to have found this solution since I very much prefer this tire size and didn't want to give up the look of the RWL. Plus, the drag radials are much better than the BFG under 500+ ft.lbs.

I realize it's probably a little late, but could your wheels have been sent to one of the wheel company's and change the offset?

That doesn't sound feasible. It's rebuilding the wheel
