I don't know if I posted the sizes, but I'm getting 19X8.5 Front / 19X10 Rear (Same offset as C32). Toyo T1-R tires 235/35R19 Front and 265/30R19 Rear.

I'm pretty sure the lips will be pretty aggressive looking, especially in the rear.

congratz. wished you could've got it from me, but oh wellz Sander's a good guy 
and I found out we could special order 10" rear. 
anywayz, Toyo usually go for around $700-750. They are cheaper than most other brands. BUT my personal opinion is that they suck pretty bad. They are noisy and even shorter tread life than expected. The reason everyone likes them is because they don't have a square sidewall like most others.
I'm bias till they discountine Eagle F1 GS-D3.

Really? I thought that the T1-R's have a good treadware rating for performance tires. I researched all of the tires before I decided and the Eagle's had a lower treadware. Oh well, I've had TOYO's before, so if they're anything like what I've experienced in the past, it'll be alright.

Speaking of, I dropped it on the floor the other day!...I was freaking out, but got away with a few minor scratches on the cover (of course it was the only day I didn't take the case with me.

Also keep in mind that at some point I've gotta get my body kit. I'm not sure what I'm gonna get yet, cuz I keep changing my mind, but I'll hit you up when the timing is right.
