Default My First Performance Upgrade

A few pics of my F sport wearing new HRE P43's with P295/30ZR19 and P245/35ZR19 Potenza S04 Pole Position tires. No rubbing what so ever with stock height.

Based on the fact that you went with 19's apposed to 20's I know you won't, but please drop that bad boy! I love the HRE and your choice of wheels. Seems like they went with a pretty dang aggressive offset in the rear based on the pics. Congrats buddy looks nice.

Nice! Now slap some Tanabe's or maybe RSR down springs on it! Great looking wheels. A drop would set it off, however it may cause rubbing issues. 295's are soo meaty... chat stew.

Curious why you went with those size tires... Your fronts are almost an inch less than spec, and the back is 1/2 inch less. You have essentially increased the wheel gap. The wheels look good though :thumbsup

Looks good. I would lower it as well though the aggressive rear width could be problematic. By going with the 245 fronts with the wider 295 rears (as opposed to the 275s that would be the proportional stagger), if you're an aggressive driver in the corners, you're going to see more understeer than stock.

That rear width is insane. How wide are those and any side effects?
