But with the momo's and low profile tires the ride is stiffer and you can tell the difference, plus I am also paranoid about every little bump so I think I just notice it more.

ONEdirty23: Agreed the peeps at Bob Baker have the best customer service plus they know alot about the 2IS since their parts manager owns one.

t0e: the offset are 235/35 Front and 275/30 Rear. Bridgestones Potenzo

Thanks for the TIRE size.

But when i say offset I ment this:
I have 19x8.5 +38 offset in the front and it rubs when I'm turning sometimes. In the back I have 19x10 +45 offset and it fits perfect.

factroy 18" wheels are
front 45 mm
rear 50 mm

t0e: my bad the offset are 38 front and rear. Wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. The fronts rub if I turn fast sharply but otherwise it doesn't rub.

The rims some of you may have seen on LexFx Car by Bob Baker at the San Diego HIN, since they "used" them at the show I was able to get a good price

Now that is just simply beautiful! I love it. Very clean and simple. The Momos are what I'm lookin at gettin too!
