Wheely Awesome

UPS man made a visit today. Dropped off the TSW Nurburgring's. 18x9" up front and 19x10.5" in the rear. Wheels are wrapped with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. 265/35/18 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear.

I noticed the 305's touch the rear brake vents when the car is on jackstands. I'm assuming they clear once the car is back on the ground??

Thanks, guys. Still need to have the car lowered on aftermarket bolts and paint center caps. I'll be sure to post picts ASAP, however.

Those wheels would be ace if they had a lip on them. I'm excited to see the pics. I really like your car with the OEM Speedlines.

I am anxious for some nice pics, too. I am looking at a similar setup with the same tires/sizes.

Waiting for the black lugs to arrive. The rear tires rub the brake ducts when the car is on jack stands. I hope it clears once the A-arms are level, etc. I'll be sure to get the picts up as soon as I get the lugs and the center caps are painted.
