my new wheels

Okay as promised on another thread I would post pics of my new wheels. They are Avant Garde m328 19's. Here you go.

Also I need to input on springs as I am getting ready to order them. I am wanting an aggressive drop so HR SS would be my option besides coils, but I read on another thread that my tire size 265/30's would cause it to rub. Has anyone here used the same tire size with SS w/ no problem?

That's what I read that most people would either use 255's to get minimal rubbing, but I was just making sure cause the statements were from only 1 or 2 people from here...I just wanted to get another opinion.

Love your car btw Spec!

I have SS and it's not nearly slammed lol. There is just no wheel gap. But i wish it was lower so the tires would tuck.

So super sports it is. Last question for you regarding the SS, will it rub if I have passengers in the vehicle?

@ Spec, I used to live in Edison then Lawrenceville for about 1.5 years before moving out here to Houston

Definately will rub when you have a 100+ lb load at the rear with SS.

I wouldn't go 265/30/19 with SS...

I originally ran 19x10 265/30/19 with supersports. Rear rubbed like crazy on dips. Stretched 245 and everything is okay, even with 3 passengers in back. Probably gonna try and do 235 on my rears next.
