DPE R05 Variant S Titanium Asphalt on DG

Finally got them in. James from Creative and Mike from DPE mounted them in a parking lot in the dark! Then they fit all four of the oem 18's in my car without damaging a thing. Amazing! Rear is rubbing like crazy need a more neg camber alignment or roll/cut fenders are on the horizon...
19x8 245/35/19 and 19x10 275/35/19 Will post offsets when I find out.

More pics to come after I get my car back from the body shop. Sorry about the crappy quality, need to borrow the woman's cam.

Thanks. HKS rides pretty good. I've got mine set at about med stiffness. Handles great. Rides nice, except on really bad roads (e.g. downtown San Diego). Sill have a little more body roll than I want. But I think I can't stop this w/out stiffening the sways or springs, which I don't want to do.

You have a 19x8 in the front? omg it looks soo much wider than an 8. I have the same setup as well. I rub like crazy also, i decided to just roll the fender so i could save tire tread

mad props man, it looks real good. i didnt expect those wheels to look good but you know wat they do.

good job

Thanks Rash. I wanted a 19x9 in the front but wasn't crazy about the $300 extra per wheel just to get that width.

I think the rims look wider since the polished lip extends all the way to the inside edge of the rim.

Lots of cardboard pieces to line the interior. One in the front seat, two on top of the folded down backseat, one in the trunk.
