Rim'd up for the Summer

I bought these rims almost a year ago and never had the time or money to put them on. I even thought about selling them. Thank God for Birthday money. No drop yet... Looking for a sweet deal on some coupe springs.

MRR GT1 Wheels
19x8.5 front / 19x9.5 rear with a 2 3/4" lip
35mm offset
245/40 and 275/35

^ What he said... With a 19" rim and a fairly wide (245mm) front tire, a 35 series would have looked a little better. If you're happy with it tho, that's what counts.

I think it looks good. I like the meatier tire in front. 245/35 is too short for my taste.

Wheels look sharp.

looks good honestly, enough tire to protect the rim and I wouldn't even sweat dropping it. Fits nicely IMO

Thanks fellas. Now my biggest problem is that I'm rubbin like I got a genie in a lamp.. (i know that was corny)....and I dont even have a fat chick in the car...just me...any little bump....SO I took a bat to it this morning...and its a little better but still rubbin.... I need to add some negative camber and find a place to roll my fenders completely flat. Anyone know of a place? I'm out on long island.

i have a 9.5 +35 on my rear with -3 camber and it looks like this i think for now its pretty good ... you ever thought about cutting your fenders ... i took it to a guy i no a b2auto here where I'm at and he charged me 40 bucks and i got a lot more cut out then i would have if they were rolled and it came out pretty clean ...

just roll the rear fenders and you will solve the rubbing issue.

his back wheel pokes out past the rear fenders .. even if he got them rolled you would think he still would rub the outer part of his finder ??? I would think that if he put a little bit of negative camber and fenders rolled/cut it would be perfect ?

Nice setup!
I know a guy that does $75 for rolling all four corners but he's far from you in south jersey. It was over an hour and a half for me but it was worth the trip.
