Yes, they are. I have no idea how I ended up with them. I had done all the research about sizes/offsets/etc., but just asked the sales rep to give me the best price he would with tires. He first was gunna put me in toyos but somehow I ended up with these.

Not yet, I plan on waiting a week or so to get the alignment. Not sure if it is a myth but everyone always says to wait a week or two to get the alignment after lowering vehicles. The shop has one of those machines with all the fancy lasers (forgot the technical name). I'll post specs when I have it done.

I actually rented a fender roller and did it myself. (Little plug for www.rollyourfender.com) Didn't want to wait and see what was going to happen when the shop took it off the lift. Apparently they had the machine there, but I didn't trust the workers there at first. Ended up doing a great job with the install though.
Ive seen two G's with 285's in person, and both of them rub w/o being lowered. I am sure they have the wrong offsets, however when its time to get new tires I'll consider 285's doubt I'll ever try to stuff 295's in there though.

2003 Thanks for all the compliments.....makes me feel better about my decision. Came close to purchasing other wheels, but always loved these since the day they were released. Glad I waited.

I know. Your car was one of my inspirations. I PM'd you a few times asking questions about your setup. After seeing how low the car is, I think I am going to go with OEM lip for now. Wanted KarumaZ bumper and INGS side skirts, but I think I am gunna keep it clean and simple.
