What do you guys think about 245/35/19 and 255/35/19 at the back, I want more rubber =) I am afraid that 235/35/19 will look too skinny at the front

Ive got 245/40s in the front and 275/30s in the rear. My next set of front tires will be 35's . And how did we get on the topic of tires

And superb your car looks perfect good job!

Looks great! I have an 06' same color and really dont want to drop 3 to 4g's on wheels and tires and have nothing left over. Your pics have encouraged me to do the same. My only concern is the rear tires clearing the wheel well. Your rear tires look like they may stick out a little from the car. Do they?

^^^ You don't have to spend 3-4K on wheels and tires.....yes, the coupe rims are the way to go if you're on a tight budget and look great...as well as the M45 rims (Love those VQ_Hotness). You can get a decent aftermarket setup of 18 or 19" rims with high perf. tires for $1,800-$2,500. But yes, you can drop as much as 3-4K if you pick a high end wheel.

Superb16 - car looks great! Love the color & the rear...looks just like mine...100%. Is your car on sport shocks & struts, since you have a 6MT? Just curious.

Everyone loves a threadjacker.

Thanks. I really was interested in your M wheels, but I'm glad I took this direction in stead. Your car looks great btw.

They're actually pretty flush with the car.

I realize I can spend $1500 to $2500 on rims and tires. Unfortunately the wheels that I like cost more than that, (Volk, DPE, IFORGED). I have the MOD funds to purchase any set of those but wouldnt have anything left for additional MOD's for a while, exaust, plenum spacer, drop kit etc. Plus I really like the look of an enhanced stock look with a larger OEM wheel from the same manufacturer but different model car and a slight drop if that makes any sense.
