Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. To give you all a little background, I'm coming from an 04 Acura Tl that I totaled a couple weeks ago. I was originally looking for an 07 or 08 Infiniti G35 sedan but it just so happens that one of my business partners was selling their 06 IS350 and he basically let me steal it from him, it only has 25,000 miles.

Anyway, I hope to enjoy the car and I'm looking for a good shop in South Florida to install some HID's and possibly some wheels and springs. If anybody knows of a place where I can get this done your help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

I've been looking for wheels for the past couple of days now. Actually, like many other CL members I have grown quite fond of the Work Varianza T1-S.

I was thinking about going with 19's.
19X8.5 et 38-40 in the front with 235/35/19 tires
and
19X10 et 40-42 in the back with either 255/35/19 or 275/35/19 tires.

and maybe a 1-1.5 inch drop... Think I would have any rubbing issues???

I wouldnt think you'd have rubbing issues thosse offsets seem kind of high.
Why not go lower?
