you can always repost your thread.....???

But they look great... I had 18" Brabus Mono VI for about, oh... 1 hour.. then i went back to the shop and had them removed. The more I looked at it, the more I felt it didn't jive with my car... those 18s just looked too small

but your 19s... now that looks good. you can't go wrong with 19s. Congrats!!! and you know the drill... POST MORE PICS!

WOW 275 in the back!! that is really pushing it, I am sure you will rub if you lower it.

What kind of exhaust is that?

Oh ya, wheel looks cool!!! 19's are the way to go!!!

Thats a magnaflow universal. I had a choice of a single tip or dual 3 inch dtm. I thought the dual would be overkill lol..

Yeah I definately will rub if i lower, but im not sure if i even want to. Anyone know why it makes noises when i reverse and turn left, it sounds like the front right is rubbing on the inside. I had to shave a suspension bolt a little bit to make it fit but its very tight. Ive gone 500 miles without any abnormal lines on the tires so I dont think im in danger.

it may be making contact with the plastic fenderwell cover...since the tires are so wide, and those inside flaps are a little loose, it can easily come in contact with it.

If you remove the wheels, you may see some rub marks on the fenderwell cover.

I know that when I had my car jacked up, and I was rotating the wheels by hand, the tires was making contact with the fenderwell cover inside (both in front and behind the tires). but after I set the car on the ground, it didn't make contact anymore
