Finally took a few pics...nothing special, so far I have only debadged it...I have a set of 19 x 8 +38, in my closet, just need to get tires. Was told to go with 215/35-19, any other thoughts? It is a DD will lower it on maybe Tanabe Sustec coils, just want about 2" drop and a nice comfy ride

215's? No way. please dont.

I would do 235/35 or 245/35. you won't come close to rubbing with those sizes and its a DD w/ minimal lowering. Don't screw yourself over and make the ride crappier than needed...


-this coming from a a with 19x9+20 w/215/35 and 19x10+0 w/225/35......

Thanks for the heads up, how low do you think I can go without rubbing or needing to roll/shave fenders? I don't have any plans to put a sub box in my trunk or anything like that, and the only other exterior mods I am doing that may affect the height is a TTE Replica lip.

with that wheel size all around, you car drop the car to the floor before you'd rub. When I first got air suspension I had 18x8.5+41 (if your wheels were 18's, the outer most part of the barrel would be in the same place), and i had no mods to my fenders. There was never a chance that I would rub.

Sweetttttttttttttt :D, so maybe I should do a set of RCA's with the coils!!! hmmmmm

Thanks, seems like the 235/35-19 are the the nearest to stock!:thumbup:

well if u get them tanabe sustecs they dont go that low so i dont think it matters with that size n offset it'll sit inside nicely.
