Wow, that's a very nice set of wheels. I like carlsson also, in fact, I am a Carlsson maniac. Unfortunately, budget constraints me. hiks hiks...
Lower them a bit <--- just a suggestion.

Thank you,

I'm very happy w/ my H&R cup kits, there is no way I would mess with the height. I dislike the look of wheels tuckin' under the fenders...

looks good, shoulda gotten 19s tho, hehe. i have carlsson 2/5s myself and only my complaint w/ carlsson 2 piece wheels is that lip is too "thick"... thick in the wrong direction, thick diameter-wise but not width-wise so it makes the wheel seem smaller.

Hey Jay,

I very much like the wheels! Beautiful flippin' car.

No need for spacers in the rear, however I will try to fit 265's next time around.

Yeah, it's the 255's that make them look wider plus the 3" lip.

I'm not really sure but I believe they are 35.

Didn't want to go w/ 19's because I heard the wheel bends easier plus I always have people in my car.

235's don't rub, they fit just fine.

Thanks for the comments guys trying to go for the conservative look. Pochlin, I'll try to get you a pic of the rears.

Greg, thanks for the comment, I'll look you up next time I'm in SB.
