Default New shoes

I'm probably about 2 weeks early in swapping out winter tires for summer tires since the temperature here in Toronto, Canada is still below 10 deg C (50 F) during the day and can go down to -2 deg C (28 F) at night. But, I cannot wait any longer. I bought these just before winter from a CL member and have been anxious to put them on.

These are 19X9 wrap in 235/35/19, but I think it's better if I use 245/35/19 to help reduce the gap a bit more. My car is lowered with Tanabe NF210.

I have an AWD so not too sure if I want to go any lower. Right now the vibration and wobbles are just bearable.

The configuration is F: 19X9 +40 R Disk; R: 19X9 +34 O Disk. This was the set up I really wanted so that I can flip the tires and at the same time have that "stagger" look.

Thanx. This the first car I have ever mod, so I'm still learning a lot.

Kudos man, I think it looks really great! I have a soft spot for White GS's anyway, but I like the contrast against the black and machine color in the wheels! Looks really classy and deLUX. Nice setup!
Take care.

Exactly! This is a great well put together look. Something about a classy done white car that looks better than anything on the road.
