Wow....... i think i just found my rims..... what would be the best offset to run if i didnt want to have to run excess negative camber.... i have a sport and i dont really want to drop my ride either.... have had bad experiences in the past. would these just look awkward without a drop?

Love the pics; looks amazing. But agree with Q8y, all those shots and still not straight-up side profile shot? Everything's still at an angle.

The wheels are Matted Silver. Tried to go with something "classic" since I'm not a spring chicken anymore. I love gunmetal and/or black wheels with a polished lip on white cars but I think I would have gotten tired of it too quickly.

I am running 225/35 on the front and 255/35 on the rear. Did a small stretch to be able to run the semi-aggressive offset and still clear the fenders.

I'm just wondering, do you have much space to install BBKs inside those rims? the clearance with the stock calipers seems low, I dunno maybe it's just the pics.

Love the whole look of the car, very similar to mine lol, all u need to get is the rear headlight overlays
Not sure about the space for BBKs inside the rims. I know that Work makes different disks (barrels?) in case you want to go with BBK or other options.

Congrats!
That's exactly what my brother said!! I am going to get a camber kit for the rear and then I'll think about the front. Only problem is the springs haven't settled so I am sure it will go even lower in the front and rear which is why I want to raise it up in the rear a tiny bit

All depends on if you're going to drop it or not. Once you make that decision, I am sure that everyone on the forums can guide you to what offsets will work.

How has the ride comfort changed? I'm thinking 225/35 would give you a harsher ride

has the handling changed in any way either?

After I installed the springs I could not even tell the ride was harsher but after mounting the new tires/wheels it did make a difference. It is not bad and everyone that has ridden in my car can't even tell the difference.

As for the handling, the lower center of gravity has helped but a very small amount. Honestly, I just commute to and from work and drive pretty conservative so I'm loving everything that has been done to my car to this point.

thank you for the side shot. Matted silver looks great. I agree, "classic" is the right word.
