New Avant Garde rims

So my rims came in today and I just got them put on a few hours ago. Wasnt able to get an alignment unfortunately, the place said I'd need to get it done at an Infiniti dealership because their machine would scratch the rims if they did it.

19x9.5 +22 all around, on Kumho Ecsta SPT's 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear.

Tell me what you guys think Ill take pictures with my actual camera tomorrow.







Newer pics 6/25

Does anyone know where I can get some black infiniti logo stickers to put in the center caps?

Interesting look, I would like to see them more concave, but they def help give your car a more unique look.

I know I need to lower, but i'm already having an issue with rubbing when I hit medium sized bumps and up. Not sure why, I should have plenty of clearance :[
So right now lowering isnt at the top of my list. Will an alignment help at all?

I was contemplating going with those rims in a graphite grey colored powder coat.... But they just weren't aggressive enough. Why didn't you go with the 19x11" rims(especially since you went staggered on the tire sizes) for the rear? They looked A LOT better and MUCH more aggressive.

Not sure why you are rubbing.. I have 20x10.5 with more aggressive offsets and 255/35 front and 295/30 rears.. My rear fenders are rolled and do not rub at all, and I'm lowered quite a bit.. I do barely rub in front, but will work that out pretty easily.

There was some uncertainty with the 19x11 rears and rubbing. Some said they would rub, some said they wouldnt. Didnt want to risk it. Can always get spacers to make them more staggered.

Ya but the concave... won't be there. Are your rear fenders rolled? if so they won't come close to rubbing.. you could put 315 size rear tires and they wouldn't rub.. Especially when you're not lowered..

None of my fenders are rolled, and i dont plan on doing so anytime soon. I like the way the rims are now, im not complaining about a little more concave.

More worried about how and why they're rubbing right now.

Should've gone with wheels of different widths. I like the style, just not the Stretch/Bulge look of the tires. The bulging rears are probably why you're rubbing. A wider rim (with right offset) would bring that tire back in under the car.

No point in saying that now, they're already on the car.

Only thing i'll probably do in the future is get some spacers, more so in the rear to make them sit a little more staggered.

Anyway heres some better pics. Just put the center cap stickers on.
