Beautiful.. They almost look 20's.. Is ur car dropped!! Wheels & tires specs? Do u get the slight rub on the passenger side rear as I do?

I was told it could be the weight of our batteries.. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks!

My car isn't dropped. wheels i'm running the same as yours. as for the tires i'm running:

235/35/19 Front
275/30/19 Rear

I didn't want any rubbing and was a bit worried. i only drove for a bit today went to the gym but i had no issues with rubbing at all. I honestly think yours looks better with the drop. they look bigger.

Great stance for a "no drop" car!! U will not rub with this set-up at stock height, so ur good to go. Great job!

The wheels look great on your car and nice to hear no rubbing at current ride height. A drop may or may not change that but increases the chances of rubbing. Looking forward to better pics.

Roswell the weight of the battery in the right rear corner may be the cause of your rubbing in that corner. My car sits 1/8" lower in the right rear and 1/8" higher in the left front. Not sure if that explains it but it sure is a possibility.

Awesome Mort.. That is a possibility as I find it strange that over dip at high speed, only this corner rubs & nothing on the driver side.

As much as I like the standard wheels, I can't help changing for something else simply to get more rubber on the ground at the back isn't a bad plan....
