Your car looks good! I'm going to be painting my wheels soon too, just waiting for the weather to warm up a little here.

Never got a chance to drop it yet so I'm still on stock height....but with this height absolutely no rubbing issue....I've done my research and even with the drop I shouldn't get rubbing with my spacer size....

I found my twin.. I'm lowered on Z S tech springs... With 18's... Painted gunmetal..... with spacers... 25mm up front, 31mm in the rear..

With my 31mm in the rear, i had pretty bad rubbing. I had to get a mild fender roll. If I had ANY weight in the trunk, or back seat, i'd rub even more. If I was on a PERFECTLY flat road, i was okay... lol. . Not sure about the 25mm. You might still need a little fender roll for big dips, but I could be wrong.





^ The last one has the front wheels turned a little bit. they're flush with the 25mm. not poking out too much.

Yeah, thought i'd post the pics to give you an idea. I'm going with varrstoens es 1.1.2s in april. I can't decide if i should get coils and drop it on my stock 18's, or just keep my springs. I want the rear a little lower, so i may do a spring mount mod just to close the finger gap i'll gain with sizing up to 19's.

I'm leaning more towards the new wheels on springs though. I haven't had these on long, so my OEM struts are good still.

hahah, good taste brother. Yeah, i'm doing the 1.1.2 19x9.5 +12 with 245/35 for the front. and 19x11 +15 with 275/35 for the rear. It'll sit pretty flush, so I don't have to run spacers anymore. I don't trust them lol. I'm really excited. I'll put up pics when I get them so you have an idea. I'll still be on my springs too. If I do the spring mount mod, i'll do before and afters.

are you BS or DG? Hard to tell from your avatar. but i think it's a BS. I still think the gunmetal would look the best out of those 3. I saw gloss black on a DG in person, and it didn't look good IMO.

I think the gunmetal is a bit dark, it washes out the tire/rim setup, IMO. I like more of a contrast with a nice deep black tire.

Its DP but in different light it looks BS, the only reason i say gloss black is because my grill, bumper ducts, roof, rear emblem, and interior trim are painted gloss black. But i do not think it will look good on stock wheels. ill most likely end up gunmetal but i might do metallic gunmetal like this
