RSR downs. 19x8.5 +32 (235-35) 19x10 +42 (265-30). Absolutely no rubbing.

Get them from us! Super downs are really low. Half down is pretty much no drop, the regular is a good amount.

I like this look!

Would you say half downs are similar to fsport springs?

I can't say if half downs are similar to f sport since I've never seen the f sport drop in person. From what I remember reading on here in the past, it seems people were disappointed in the front drop from f sport springs.
I currently have my OEM rims back on for winter and the drop still looks pretty good.

Yeah I was looking at the half downs specs. Its under 1 inch drop all around (kind of similar to the fsport springs drop rate)

Although I would like the front gap to be closer, hoping 19s would do the trick. But, from the looks of your setup. I'm assuming it would look similar. (I hope)

After I posted I looked back at my pics when I first got them installed and then several months later. It looks like they settled nicely after a bit.
Initially, I had Conti's on the car but replaced those with Michelin Pilot SS - the Michelin's are square and look much better, IMO.

Would you mind snapping a picture of your car with the stock rims since you have them back on now? Really interested on how those springs reduced the gap. Thanks in advance.

How long does it take for the RSR downs to settle? Just got them placed yesterday but my wheels just came in too & it’s comes with mount balance and alignment. Was wondering if I should wait to install new wheels or if I could just go ahead

Depending how much you drive the springs will settle faster or slower.
I would say 2 weeks is good enough to wait before an alignment.
Put the new wheels on before you do the alignment.

Oddly enough, my (fronts) haven't dropped any further, and perhaps even came up a bit? At first I thought I had nearly 1" of drop but now it's more like .7-.8" after 2.5 weeks.
