That's very subtle and very nice. Suits the car very well. Nice job.

Going to pick up my Varrstoens ES 1.1.2 19" Hyper Black but they are +12 and I am sort of tripping out about this. Thought I was getting +22. I really just want to be flush and not stick out. I have a feeling I am going to need a lot of fender work on the front and rear because of this +12. They are 19x10.5 and 19x9.5. Was going to wrap them with 245/35 and 225/35 respectively

Apex exhaust installed. New motor mounts and caster arms installed. vvti and fuel filter installed. upgraded all interior lights with LEDs and HIDs for headlamps and fogs. Got my wheels wrapped in some Hankook V12's 245/35/19 for the rear and 225/35/19 for the fronts. I knew the +12 offset was going to be an issue for the rears but I didnt know how bad. The Megan LP coilovers are installed but not adjusted. The rear camber kit is installed but not adjusted. The front camber control arms are installed but no wheels installed yet. Mechanic wants to see how the car sits and how much will have to be shaved to achieve the ride height I want, which is a slight tuck of the rubber. I dont want to replace tires every 5K miles because I have to drive with -4 or -5 camber. Not sure whats going to happen

Thank you carbongs and aristoking. The rear window sticker will be coming off for new tint all around. I will be cutting a different decal for somewhere else.

Do most people with aggressive offset all ride with negative camber. I mean is everyone buying new tires all the time because of this?
