Default finally got my 19" work kiwamis put on

my current setup is front 19*8.5 225/35/19 rear 19*9.5 265/30/19 riding on rsr down springs.
no rubbing with full passengers. going over bumps the rear tucks in slightly. i snapped a pic with my phone after the install. hope you guys enjoy

From the angle and lighting, the wheels look to be a perfect match to Atomic Silver. More pics are welcome!

yea i would've gone with 10.5 if i was to go with the coil-over setup but i chose moderate lowering springs because i didn't want it to interfere with the awd system too much. i do love these kiwamis

Sweet.

What tire did you go with? I have my 19x8.5 Front, and 19x9.5 wheels in too (Not Kiwamis) and am thinking of putting Nitto INVO tires. A lot of people are persuading me to go with Michelin Super Sports though. Still not sure.

my original choices were michelin pilot sport as3 but they don't make them in 265/30/19. so i went with continental extreme contact dws n couldn't be any happier. very quiet tires. i could be wrong but the ride even feels better than the stock bridgestones. I haven't put on nitto tires in a very long time so i couldn't tell you anything about their current state but they used to make some of the best performance tires around.. back in the good old days

Car looks unreal. Any rubbing issues with this setup? I'm considering a different wheel with the same size and offset.

That looks perfect man, just how I like it. I might have to replicate the wheel/tire sizes and offsets. You will have to keep us posted if there are any rubbing issues.

thanks n i believe this is the perfect set up if you were to go with just lowering springs.

thanks. i spent the entire weekend driving around dc. when i hit those nasty potholes it breaks my heart but no rubbing whatsoever so far. even with passengers in the car. I had two people bounce on the rear bumper and the tires just tuck right in the fender. its beautiful haha
