Hey there GSoup, the reason you see gappage is because I'm still working on the fender mods. ( minor rolling is all that was required)

the rear gap is due to high offsets. (19x10+30)If I drop it now it wont look as good as the front . I will drop it more once my 15mm spacers get here.
that will convert to a 19x10+15 out back.

brand of tire is Falken fk452. they stretched pretty weak, thats why I ended up with a 225/35/19 F and 235/35/19R.

here are some more pics......
here is a shot of the front, does not stick out at all ( very very flush) and only minor rolling was needed.

Oooh, that looks really good. My brother has been contemplating a new wheel set-up. We were thinking 19 x 9 et +20 up front but not sure how it would fit, now with your pics as reference we can pretty much gauge what fitment to go with.

glad you can use mine as a guide... if you cut the lip inside the front fenders ( wich I'm fixin to do) you can probably run a 19x9+15 no prob without sticking out.....
