Very very nice. Subtle, aggressive and clean. Just the way I like them.

Thanks for the compliment as I did alot of research for the right look. I was abit scared of how it would actually look since I couldn't get a "real" photo of the wheel to photoshop. Anyhow, I'm running 245/40/19 - 8.5 in the front and 275/35/19 - 9.5 in the back. The ride is awesome since the tires are really quiet, running Toyos T1-R's. I had to roll the fenders since my friend who owns an auto shop insisted that the wheel folks would make sure the offset would work without rolling the fender. So, fenders are now rolled and there is no rubbing. I haven't taken hard turns yet or had a packed car but we'll see.

Actually, your friend is right. The wheel offsets look fine. I think the problem is that you used tires that are too tall.

Generally, with that set up you want to go with front 245/35/19 and rear 275/30/19. If you're worried about the ride quality, I can guarantee you, you will not notice the difference.

245/40/19 vs. 245/35/19 = 0.485" height difference
275/35/19 vs. 275/30/19 = 0.54" height difference

I don't want to spoil the party, but if you had used the above tire set up, you wouldn't have had to roll fenders or worry abount rubbing at all.

No worries. I was debating on the 35's in front and 30's in back but i've ridden with that setup and it does feel different with what I have. I wanted the slightly bigger tires 1) better ride quality and 2) save from potential rim damage and 3) because it's an 1" drop, i didn't want too much wheel well showing! I may go down to 265/35/19 once these wear out.

but ride quality will be affected if you go with thinner tires and you will bend a rim easier with thin tires,thicker tire gives more cussion from pot holes and softer ride.

That's why I opted for a tad bigger tires. If anything, I may go down to 265/35/19 for the rears in the future.

Looks really, really nice. Well done! I especially like that lip spoiler.

Regarding the sidewall height: I side with killerlexus. 30-series tires provide too short a sidewall for the street IMHO. Plus they look a little funny on a 275 mm width tire. I'd much rather roll my fenders and have a little more usable sidewall.

clean and simple, I like. That spoiler, isn't it like 600 bucks? I liek those wheels. I am thinking about getting some 19 inch ssr sp1 which sort of look like that. That is if I can find them for a deal.

very very clean. Whats the offset on those wheels. I would like to go 9.5 in the rears too but I get so many diffrent answers on the offsets. I like how its flush with the fenders.

The spoiler cost me $175 shipped from Unlimited tuning. Definitely get 19's. It's the right size for car...
