Default Will this look good

15 is350 AWD here. Thinking about running ace alloy aff02 wheels.
19x8.5 in front with +35
19x10 in rear with a +40

how will this look? Will it fit? What tire sizes will give me no issues even if i lower?

also, has anymore ran RSR half downs on an AWD?

they’ll fit and it should look good. i would go with coils for the best adjustment though, and rear camber arms as well so you can really play around with it

The fronts are fine, no stretch, the rests are only slightly stretched. I have never rubbed

Also tire manufacturers vary in size. A Michelin 265-30 will look more squared and not look so stretched. My DWS have a softer more rounded shoulder making it look more stretched. Someone correct me if I misspoke.

I agree. I've had both Continental and Michelin (current) and the Continentals looked more stretched to me.

As per sig, I have Half-Downs on the rear and Downs, on the front and another has done the same with a non-F Sport. One with F Sport AWD said they saw almost no difference with Halfs on the front. The rear Halfs worked perfect for me, to balance out the Downs drop in the front.

Btw, did you check the Marketplace? A guy is selling his AFF02s there.

looks good but surprised you have never rubbed even once

not rubbing enough to say slowly destroy the Inner plastic fender liner (i've done this but my old Accord, they were cheap and plentiful to find)

i would imagine going over a giant speed bump or steep inclined driveway entrance there would be some sort of rubbing esp. in the fronts
