Car look great and the background not bad either. The light would have just put it over the top but I think it had good light.

Joe - thanks man! still love your wheels; wish i had the ***** to go with that color combo. i believe that i am running 245/35 F and 265/30 R. i'm not certain about the front though. i will double check and let you know if they are a different size. have you checked the suspension sub-forum recently. there was another suggested solution posted. looking into it next week hopefully. will post what we find.

Hey Ryan,
Did you confirm that your running 245/35 up front, also did you have to change out the studs to longer ones? What is your ride height? (measured from flat surface to highest point of wheel well).

Thanks.

height is at 26" at the moment. i cannot go much lower as i will not clear speed bumps, as well as create more rubbing issues. i will not be going any lower, unless i decide to go with air. no time soon though

keep in mind that i am AWD, so my tire setups are going to be slightly different to keep the same rolling diameter front and back (or as close as possible anyway).
entire specs -
front - 225/35/20_9"+20 (add 5mm spacer to +15)
rear - 265/30/20_10.5"+25
