Default Installed wheels and tires...

I love them. Went for a drive this morning to the PCA New Members breakfast. They look great and ride great. 19x11" and 19x8.5" Avant Garde Ruger Mesh painted Titanium 2 LD2-W with Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2's (295/30 and 235/35).

They look great, Love the color and design. if I remember, your running ET 45 in front and ET 56 in the rear correct? As I mentioned in your previous thread, I am running 19" with ET 50 front and ET 64 at rear with same size tires. I have been wanting to lower the car just a bit (probably the US 030) but have been worried about rubbing. Is your car lowered at all? if so, what suspension did you use and do you have any rubbing issues? How close is the outer edge of rear tire to fender lip? Again, looks really good.

Wheels balance out the rest of the car. Aggressive all around, nice work

i have stock shocks and H&R Sport Springs. No rubbing at all thankfully. The tires sit pretty flush with the body, front and rear. I will measure tomorrow but I think I have about an inch of clearance top of tire to quarter panel edge.

yes sir! Needed some pop and the red calipers and the red stripes on the center caps give it what I wanted!

Nice choice, I've been eyeballing the same set for my guards red. This solidified the decision that much more!
