I have HRE 545Rs on my car. I have 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear. I'm running on H&R springs with 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear pilot sports. I have no problems with the drop in terms of rubbing or turning. The drop is very nice for daily driving and you won't have any problems with it.

I know this is kinda late, but I hope this helps. =)

Hey Sharka, thats the exact same setup that I will be considering (540 not 545R). Now I feel a bit more hopeful that it will work. I plan to install and test before purchasing. Hopefully I can get a few big folk to sit in the back and I can find a good speed bump to test for any rubbing. Are there any markings that I should look for to confirm they are HRE's?

Hey, after close inspection of the HRE wheels, I found a way to check the authenticity... each bolt that marries the two/three peice wheels together have HRE stamped on the head. Thats a hell of a lot of HRE branding, but very subtle

Thanks, folks.

DTMCLK, the car is Black. I have someone that details the car. I am not sure what he uses, but he does a damn good job
