The fronts: 19 x 8.5
The rears: 19 x 9.5

I'm really happy with the overall look. It's amazing how dropping the car and throwing on a set of rims changes the entire attitude of the vehicle. I'm thrilled with it!

Thanks-

I'll grab some photographs today after I wash it a bit - it's DIRTY!

I appreciate all the compliments. I really love the new look of the car!

Nice job. Its amazing what nice rims and a little lowering will do for the look of any car- maybe a light tint next for you...I cant imagine driving anything stock, I'm so ruined forever... -

I left the stock shocks on the car with the H&R's - it'll be fine for a while. No worries here.

Absolutely no rubbing at all. The wheels are 19 x 8.5 front & 19 x 9.5 rear with 235/35/19 (Front) & 265/30/19 (Rear) tires. Hope this helps - I also drove the car hard to see if it would rub, it wasn't an issue.

I'm glad you like the looks - I'm glad I went this route b/c it changed the attitude of the vehicle completely.

Cheers,

Lance

Time to dig 'em out! I just took my first trip with the new setup - it drives wonderful! I like it a lot better with the H&R's - the wheels are just icing on the cake!

Beside the springs, do you have to by any other accessories like crews, bolds etc? just in case if I want a DYI

what are the offsets of the wheels?

I have 18x8s in the front and want to find out if I can run any 225-40s in the front.
