I got wheels before low :/

I needed tires badly:


And I found a deal on some Volks with tires so I put them on my 06 sedan:


And it looks like a 4x4 (still):


And I got a little more poke than I'd like in the rear (hope more low and camber will fix):


Still on the fence about the color, but once it's lowered I think I'll like:


Wheel/tire specs: 19" Volk SF Winnings Custom Matte Bronze Centers, Gloss Bronze Lips

Front 19 x 8.5 +38
245.35.19 - General Exclaims UHP

Rear 19 x 9.5 +42
275.30.19 - General Exclaims UHP

Still undecided about the color with the silver, especially with the different colors of chrome on the rest of the cars parts but I think it will look good once it's dropped. If not I'll get them refinished. Can't wait to get it lowered now & I'm going LOW. I'm also hoping it will pull the rears in a tiny bit too. Think I'll need a spacer up front. Will roll the fenders as needed. Plans are to get a more aggressive wheel setup in the future but these will do for now. Also planning on doing the headlights and grill during a weekend but can't decided on a color/finish. Also on the fence about a front bumper lip (possibly a different front and sides in the future)... And looking at exhaust setups as well...
And I told the wife (and myself) when I got the car a few months ago that I would leave it alone She says she knew better.

Other than the obvious "Needs Moar Low Now", what do you guys think?

Well *I* for one think it looks sweet, dude. And it gives me an idea of what those volks would look like on my ride.

Of course if you really don't want them you can sell them to me. Just don't tell my wife that I'm spending more on the car!

Sweet wheels, when you lower it, the wheels will look awesome with the drop.

once you lower it, the camber will make the wheels more flush opposed to mexipoke. I will say a huge pet peeve of mine is aftermarket wheels w/o any suspension adjustments.

Wheels look nice. No need to pull your fenders with those widths, offsets and tire sizes even if you slam it. You'll need spacers to be flush.

yeah, you are 4x4! i thought my car was high, LOL
once you lower it, it'll change the look drastically. IMO, i would match the lights & Mt. Fuji in the front/back with the wheels. they will look like nice accents to go with the other parts that are chrome (window sills, handles). but dats just me

looks good, man. like others said, once you drop it, it'll look 100X better and you should be able to tuck the rears.

my rear with 275/35R19 with g coupe springs.
I had to roll my rear fenders because I ran a bigger tire than you. You might be ok with the 275/30 like marcus says. I would trust marcus, he was always spot on with his recommendations to me
