I'm definitely leaning towards the MS1's after seeing it in person today. But the MAJOR problem i'm dealing with now, is trying to determine how much damage would be potentially caused with the tire set-up.

It's a double edge sword. If I run the set-up the way it is, I would require minor fender modification and be concerned about the transmission. If I change the rears to the recommended 265/30 then I'm dishing out additional cost for new tires and would more than likely have to do some major rear fender modification as rule previously mentioned.

The CV1's are intangible and there seems to be minimal info on when it will be released in 19".

I'm hoping to see the SC1's in person sometime this week. In the mean time, I'm crossing my fingers hoping that someone out there can confirm that the set-up on the SSR's would be safe for my AWD.

I should have purchased the 350

Ok. Both the SSR's and SC1's are now out of the equation. How would a brand new set of Work T1S wbc look on my SGM?

SSR MS1- SBC!

I think the Work SC1s look too similar to the Toyota Camry TRDs. :P
