gunmetal for the sportier look and silver for the executive look.
I'd go silver/chrome for the contrast.

I seen that listing too in the Bay Area. He is a shop in Hayward. I wouldn't mind sporting a set of these LFA replicas.

235 would be better.

Also got a set off 4 ISF caps, looks much better in my opinion.

Here some iPhone iSplash pics

no rubs btw

i was thinking about buying those wheels also but hesitant due to the low profile tires...

so there's no rubbing at all with 225/40/19? i have a 250 awd stock height and im not to sure which size to buy.. i see that most of the people here uses 225/35/19 or 235/35/19. (i would be using the same size all around)

Just bought a set of the staggered setup. Should arrive within a week.

I'm still not sure how you managed to put a 40series tire at the front ? Any rubbing ?

The 40 series was a mistake, also the 225.. now i've ordered 235/35.

But to anwers your question... miner rub at the fenders. Just the "usual" with the heat gun and the wheels runs clear.

Do you think that 235 tires wrapped on these staggered set up is ok if I transferred my tires to these rims for my awd?

I'm no expert but I've done some serious digging these days , a 235 tire on a 9.5" is too much of a stretch , its doable but not advised at all.

I'm hesitant about fitting a 245 on the 9.5" rear wheels , yet alone a 235.
