Ok, so you need to buy adjustable coilovers, that's your most important purchase right now.

I recommend different wheels, those wheels are incapable of poking like the wheels you have posted without huge spacers.

Also look wider, you're going to need to stretch in order to make it look like that. 8.5 in a 19 is one of the hardest widths to stretch. The smallest tire you can get that isn't tiny as hell is a 215/35 which offers very little stretch on an 8.5

Look for wheels that are at least 9" wide in the front and at least 10" in the rear.

His car tucks wheel hard, you won't get them too look like Johnny's car without being wider and your car being dumped to the ground.

If you're concerned about your roads then you're getting into the wrong look.

we just have potholes and I would rather run 19's with a 35 tires vs 20's with a 30 tire. Not my first rodeo with lowered cars and wheels here, so I'm not worried about it being lowered, just dont want the easier chance at denting rims.

But if I cant get Jonnys look then I cant, but I want these wheels. I've been looking for a while and cant find anything I like except Volk GT-F and those are $700/ea...

Are you set on Tein Basics? because they don't go all that low. There is better coils for the money.

Not set on them no. I know they are good and I found them for $900something vs others that were priced well over $1000.

Look into BC racing coils, MDU coils and Megan coils, they usually go for about $800-$900 shipped and will go much lower than the basics.

You need to decide now if you want to burn through tires once a month or once a season. Your camber means a lot to making a car look like that.

naturally, if you drop your car 3" you're going to get about -3 degrees of camber.

yeah my old car had nasty camber in the front and I burned through tires pretty fast. I want a little bit, but nothing drastic.

i'll check into those others you mentioned. I have dealt with Megan before and never had issues.

Then just go natural camber and don't bother buying the camber arms unless you wanna go crazy with it.

IMO, go with a staggered set up 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 You're looking for low single digit offsets or 0/ a little under.

Or buy them with around +10 and run a spacer to get the fitment where you want to.

Now move on to studying stretched tires lol
