Wow...looks amazing! Great choice of wheel, and I'm definitely glad you went with a lower kit with those wheels. Staying stock I think Impul looks great, but if you're throwing on rims like those then a lower drop is mandatory.

Great job hans...

It's lower than other Gs with Eibachs because you're running tires that are about 1" shorter than stock overall. 245-35-19s are about 25.75" tall whereas the stock 225-50-18s are 26.86" tall. There's also about a 1" difference btw the stock rears and your 275-30-19s. So, if you were to measure your car compared to another G with Eibach springs, your car would be about 1/2" lower.

The larger wheel well gap caused by the shorter sidewall also makes the car look less lowered than the other Eibach Gs at first glance. That's why some people are telling you to lower it. They're fooled by the wheel well gap.

Still, great overall look and choice of rims.

Thanks for the info!
I was thinking of going 245/40 in the front and 275/35 for the rears.
this might end up making it a little higher.< Im considering this cuz of the massive bump I keep hitting getting into my building garage.

That's a good idea. It will not only give you some more ground clearance, but stuff like your speedometer and odometer would be accurate (right now, your odometer will register more miles than your car actually has due to the smaller diameter tires). It will also eliminate some of the wheel well gap and give those hot rims some additional protection against potholes and stuff.

Hey, Thanks for the reassurance in my decision! You made some valuable view points. Now I'm glad I ordered those Hankooks today!
245/40/19 f
275/35/19 r

Also, this should eliminate that minor yet annoying steering wheel wobble!

Please read this Hans. I ordered 245/40/19's on the fronts of my car and it looked so stupid I got rid of them and went with 245/35/19. Actually, since your wheel is a 9" front as opposed to my 8.5", it might look fine. Interested in seeing pics.

One thing though, 245/35/19 looks too thin on mine. 235/40/19 would be perfect IMO but impossible to find

Looks fantastic. the lip-less wheels give it a race oriented look, but it still looks classy

Looks awesome, i searched the database for similar sizes to what i plan to run and it looks great. i'm going to probably try the 5zigen ZR520's in 19x9 +37 and 19x10 +37, not sure what tire sizes or springs yet though.

You forgot to censor your license plate in the 4th pic. Nice rims.

That offset should work just fine. I really like the 5zigen ZR520s they look great, classy and sporty looking! I didn't know they came in 19s

They should look perfect on your G!
