Your wheel and color choice complement your car nicely.

The ride is actually softer and more comfortable than my stock 18". I think it depends on the type of tyre you get on these rims.

i will plan to get my RS-R isport coilover in soon. I have heard RS-R coilovers has got nice comfort ride with IS. I know i few people with ISF found RS-R coilovers ride more comfortably than stock ISF suspension.

After more than 8 years lowered, I am now thinking of putting back to stock height as the 19s I'm about to get, the rear has a pinky finger gap and its scraps just reversing off my driveway. Rolling fender won't help pulling fender might but I've heard about paint cracking and it's a no brainer for me. The only other option is change to a higher lowering springs or coils but that's $$$. Cheapest and safest option is stock springs.

What is your wheel / rim offset and width?

is there a reason people run 30 ratio in the rear instead of 35 who are stock? I wouldn't think there would be a problem with rubbing if you're not lowered.

also, any issue with 275 width? I've been debating about getting 265/35/19 vs 275/35/19

275/19/35 at rear will cause rubbing even at stock suspension. Unless you roll the fender. I wish our car comes with better wheel well!!! oh well....

275 has got wider rubber than 265, means better grip on the road. Better for fast cornering.

You should be fine with 265/35/19. But not 275/35/19. Unless mod your fender. Otherwise Check with your local tyre shop.

Thank god for this thread, as lowered cars are just silly. They ride worse, and scrape everything from the ground, to the snow, to their own tires sometimes. Screw that. All for just a look... I don't get it. And those Niche Citrines look better than I thought they would. Wow.
