yeah. that's definitely brybenz's car. I believe he has 19X8 front and 19X10 rear, with 225 front and 245 rear tires. With 265/30/19 tires, you won't be able to slam it as low .

You'll most likely have to cut coils to get it that low, but if the look is all you're after and you don't care about ride quality or handling, then go for it!

if you would quote the complete sentence i had written, it would have read like this : you won't be able to go as low as brybenz if you use the typical 235.35.19 front and 265.30.19 rear set up, because brybenz is using a 225 front and a 245 in the rear, so he can get his tires tucked more.

I think it looks cool that low. But I'd never drive it that low. For shows and stuff it would be cool but to actually drive, I'm sure it's not that great.
