Installed 19" BBS CH-R Wheels
Finally installed new wheels and tires. Wheels were purchased from a great MBWorld member few months ago but waited for the winter to be over so I can install them. They are 19" BBS CH-R staggered setup. Rear wheels are 35mm offset and front have 40mm offset. Front wheels get a 5mm spacer so both are at 35mm offset. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-04. Front size is 255/35R19. Rear size is 285/30R19. I purchased a set of Gorilla locking studs P/N GOR-47020N-20. Studs are 1.5" long to accomodate spacers in the front. Photos are taken with car in Sport setting I. There is no rubbing but haven't driven the car hard arond corners. Car looks so good with this setup especially when looking from behind. It makes the car look really sporty.

Thanks for the compliments. Now have to avoid all the chuck holes that spring up after every winter here in northern Ohio. Got to keep them nice wheels looking good for a while! I really like the Potenza tires so far. Smooth and quiet ride. Excellent handeling. Not harsh ride at all for being 19".
