All other tire manufactures say something like "35,000 miles" or something.

Tread rating is 280. I don't know the exact conversion but probably 20 to 30k or less. I have a set of michelin's that have an 800 rating and were rated for 90k I believe. I know that's crazy. My currect tires are rated for 340. 280 is common for high performance tire. Some tires have low tread even when brand new, like 8/32nds instead of 11/32nds.

New wheels..........

Those wheels look great on your OB sedan........good choice! Just a word of
caution, before you buy tires find out what the ratings are. I made the mistake of buying Bridgestone poles for my last car without knowing. They
were rated at 140 and only lasted 10K miles at a cost over $1K. And yes,
these tires had the best traction wet or dry but the cost wasn't worth it.

I'm planning on doing the H&R drop but I'm not sure about the wheels tucking underneath the fender. The tires stick out in the rear like 1/8 of an inch.

Looks great. We need better pictures from a distance.

Few questions:

Do you experience any rubbing? If not, did you have anyone in the backseat?

I was told I cannot fit 10" widths in the rear without rubbing on our sedans

Someone already did the exact same 10" wide Moxy wheels and rear offset and reported no problems.

Another user is getting a set of dpe R07s built in 20 x 10. They should be test fitted soon. I'm sure they'll weld up your 19" LS5 at the same time.

The manufacturer had the sedan in to be test fitted and they couldn't get the 20x10's to fit in without rubbing (rolling fenders would prob. correct it). He advised me not to go that wide.

Excuse my ignorance but where exactly is it rubbing... the top of the fender..

Inside or top of the fender. Usually the wheel rubs on the inside of the fender. The rubbing is more noticeable when the car is lowered, have passengers inside, and/or hit a dip in the road.

So FYI your front offset is +34. Nice choice can't wait to see better pixs.

DPE will be test fitting the 20x10's at their administrative offices here in CA. I've been there several times myself and they have seen my car. I don't think they normally sell direct, so I assume you must be working with a retailer? I'm also not sure the retailer really had an 07 to test fit because the 07 already comes with rolled fenders.

What width did you end up with? The LS5 is a two piece wheel (nice choice BTW ). What they do is a test fit first BEFORE final assembly, get the offset, then have the wheel face welded to the barrel section. The key to getting good fit is picking the correct offset.
