Vossen setup
20x9 et38 w/235/35/20 overall diameter 26.46
20x10.5 et45 w/275/30/20 overall diameter 26.48

I feel with my drop, this is the absolute best possible fitment for this set up. Maybe one size up and I would still be able to keep the overall wheel diameter intact.
Hope this helps.

I followed the instructions and videos the site has online. Theres even some on you tube:

I used degreaser and adhesive promoter first. Then started on one end and worked my way around using the "v cut" method for when I encountered sharp turns. Also, I did not use the screws provided because I did not want to drill into my car. It has help up well for a year now.

Do you have pics for how you did the rear? I'm looking to do the all-fit lip on my RC350 but I'm curious how you did the lip for rear diffuser. Thanks

Seems like this link may provide some better options for the same thing I received from ebay...however you may have to wait 3-4 weeks for it. FYI - even the price I got on ebay disappeared now (109.99) but it arrived in 2 business days.

Hope this helps.

Honestly, I think the over all build/ quality of these really exceeded my expectations right out of the box. Some things to note:

Build:
1. Very nice finish and no imperfections in the surface.
2. Logo at the bottom cannot be seen as it covered by the steering wheel.
3. The holes at the top allow you to see warning lights on the dash without obstruction.
4. These feel extremely solid to hold and a bit heavier that I expected which I liked.
5. The double sided tape is already pre attached and installation was a breeze....its on there firm with 3M double sided table.

Function:
1. They do infact extend the paddle in both directions vertically on each side...however, only the lower parts of each paddle are actually functional. If you try to push down using the top part (where the hole) is, it is really hard to do or not possible at all. That being said, the bottom however is fully functional and can be pressed even at the lowest point to get a shift. What this means is, when I make a Left turn in manual mode, this really becomes handy as I don't have to re position my hands and can just push down on the lowest part of the right paddle. However the scenario when turning right and shifting up still requires me to find a part of the right paddle close to the center where the OEM paddle sat. I hope that makes sense....the same issues with downshifting of course apply.

Still over all, i love how they look and feel using them even when not turning and glad I added this simple mod.

Yeah I've had mine installed for a few months now and could never go back! They are great for spirited driving and since I use my car in Manual Sport+ 100% of the time, it gives shifting every day a better more engaging feel. Glad you like them as well!

So after about 6-7 months, I noticed some of the LED's in the rear bumper lenses I replaced started to die. I now no longer trust the LED type irrespective of which different companies make them...I would advise others against the ebay ones anyways now that this happened to me. I have just received another set of fiber optic lenses which I think will end up looking better anyway...will post how they turn out soon!
