-Staggered- Wheel/Tire Setup
Wheel/Tire specs:
Advan Kreuzer V
F: 19 x 8.0 (+38) - Dunlop SP9000 245/35-19
R: 19 x 9.0 (+45) - Dunlop SP9000 275/30-19
I'm glad the Advan 'Gunmetal' color is of the lighter variety, which compliments well with Ivory Pearl. I was really sweating the gunmetal decision weeks before they're arrival from Japan (no refund!!!). Had it been a hair darker, someone would of gotten a set of free wheels from me
The quality of these wheels are exceptionally high and expected from Advan. The gunmetal paint is simply immaculate with hints of metallic sparkle and flakes. There's a polished aluminum ring just behind the spokes that really accentuates the color and made for a classier look. Love the center cap design as well. Using a beat up bathroom scale that has been in comissioned in the warehouse battlefield, they registered at 20lb and 21lb front and rear. No competition vs. the light weight 18-inchers out there, but admirable in the 19-inch class.
The wheel offsets also worked out just as I've calculated and further validates my Wheel Fitment Chart
*** Revised version HERE
I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking ...
And a not so great attempt at a shot of the 'neat' center cap (taken with a lousy < 1Mpix cam under inadequate lighting) ...

Re: -Staggered- Wheel/Tire Setup
I absolutely Fing hate you. 
I wanted that exact setup, but it was a tad over budget. Same finish and everything. Looks absolutely stunning. Where did you get them from? How long did it take? I can't wait for my gram lights any longer!! (End of this month)

Re: -Staggered- Wheel/Tire Setup
LOL khsonic03!!!
Gram Light makes some neat wheels too!
These Advans took as long as it did for me to special order my G!?!?! Nearly 3 months!
Gurgen's right, my car was lowered approx. 1.5". Since moving to the softer 10kg springs, I'm acutally down to 1.75" and nearly 2.00" at the front.

Re: -Staggered- Wheel/Tire Setup
Reggie,
I've been running her pretty hard and no issues as of yet. None are foreseeable by any means either as I've gone through the numbers more than I could remember before committing.
It does understeer quite a bit as expected and is in the process of being addressed w. revised front spring rates and further tweaking of the sway bar settings.
