^ what I think is that you want to buy Mike's hard wire for the radar and we wont install into any panels. I can hide it so you wont know that it was ever done What is 40$ to help your local installer out Install will be for free as usual.

are you changing your rims already?? For the rear I would go 265/35 or even 275/35 if you can fit it. I was 19x10 +38 275/35 and I fit with a little mod to the rear fender. Vik is 265/35 in the rear and he doesnt rub and no mods to his rear fender. You have to ask him the offset as I dont recall it. I thought around +36 but I may be wrong?

no i am thinking to go spacers... i was thinking of a 10mm spacer which makes my offset to +30.... instead of the +40 that i have now... and it is 19x9.5 with 265/30 not 35.... not sure whether i shud buy it yet

My fronts rub pretty bad. Got a big hole in the driver side fender. I am running 235/35 with a +35 offset on a 19x8.5 wheel. It rubs on the tab that connects the bumper to the fender. I need someone to help me relocate this stupid bolt and grind down the tab. If not, I will raise the car.

I will try him again tomorrow and see what he says. If he is up for it are you willing to drive back out tomorrow? If he can do it he did a great job on my IS. Text me tomorrow around lunch time and let me know and I will ask again. Its hard to get into him at times but its worth it when I wait. He is the only tech I let work on any of my cars.

Yeah, that would be great Mike. If not it is cool, I am trying to get hold of a local bodyshop that might be able to help.

My rears are 19x9.5 +36 with a 265/35 tire. Little to no rubbing and I have 0.5-0 finger gap.

I wanted to stay as close to stock wheel/tire diameter as possible. My speedo is actually on the money with the new setup(GPS verified). Stock the speedo is a little fast.

Next time I'll probably run 225/35 in the front.
