Nice!

Is the car lowered? For some reason the rear looks a little lower than the front? Or maybe it's just the way the picture was taken?

Unsure on the suspension mods, trying to verify thru the customer.

If that's biglee73's car, it isn't lowered. I saw it in person and thought the same thing. His driveway is just too steep for a drop.

Looks great. I would just change the lugs to black to complete the look

I thought so. I was just at his house last week and saw the wheels and the WB boxes Would've been one hell of a coincidence.

After going to the HRE Open House and seeing the FF wheel (silver) in person- I wish I could get that color on the forged HRE's but we can't. Its a very good silver by the way

The rear does look lowered compared to the front. The suspension hasn't been changed. The rear wheels are slightly rubbing when going over bumps on the freeway and I've exchanged a few emails with HRE and they've suggested a few things to try out to resolve the rubbing issue.

Also searching for some black lug bolts and locking lug bolts. If anyone has any suggestions please chime in. Thanks

Always have black lugs and locks in stock.

Let me know if you want some pricing!

thats weird, HRE says it is an et45 rear and an et47 front and requires a spacer in the front. My BBS CH-R is an et45 rear and I never rubbed on stock suspension even with a full car of big guys and rarely rub with my H&R springs now though I try and keep it to just me and 1 passenger.

I've got a 5mm spacer on my rear and I had used wrong lug bolts so it made some noise. I'm going to try removing the spacers to see if that resolves the rubbing issue.

According to the HRE site the 5mm spacer is meant for the front wheels not the rear wheels.

Took a screen shot it is through the HRE website, I got an email about them today direct from HRE with a buy it now option. Was curious about pricing and saw about the spacers. Also here is the link to the HRE site where it is stated just enter the car info.

Thanks for the info. I did remove the spacers from the rear and no issues so far. I'll have to test it out tomorrow through the hills of Napa Valley

Nice set-up... but yeah 19x9.5 +45mm (+5mm) = +40mm, not surprised you are rubbing.

Why do you need spacers in the rear? Is it to clear the brakes? The +45mm should be very flush as is.

And LAMB, do you know the reason why the front require the 5mm spacers? BBK clearance issue? As I can see the FF series are not custom made to fit every vehicles.

I believe the spacers are intended for the front.

Here's a shot of the rear.

All these photos from this post has the spacers only in the rear.

I've removed the spacers from the rear and will probably get them put on in the front later today.
