Looking good. Now I know why you don't have any rubbing probs - she ain't dropped. Well, my advice is if you are planning to lower her, try to swap those 9" fronts for 8 or 8.5"'s..... keep the mods coming

yeap, I'll consider that. I have to agree, 18x8 are better for the front. I guess I'll post that on the forum later on, see who would like to do a wheel swapping with me? it would probably be rare!who ever had four 18x8s. I think people who had this kind of wheel already had the staggered setup.....

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
What up my peeps? Just put on my 19X10's on the rear this weekend and swapped the old 5mm spacers on the front wheels from to 12mm and WOW what a difference. The front wheels come out to the fender now just like the back and it looks sick. Whitey was bugging me about this for the longest time and now it's done. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me but I'll take some pics. in the next couple of days and post. Oh, I also went from #3 to #2 pads in the front to bring it down just a bit more and I must say, it sits perfect.

Acceleration had huge impact on this....probably slows down at least 2 sec when take off. They weighted almost twice as much as the OEM wheels. Of course MPG went down too. I say lost about 2 to 3 MPG. Don't know if I did a right thing or not by putting on them big wheels. More money needs to pour down to lower this baby. How many inches? 1-2"?? any suggestions?

Dave, this is for you...
Sorry but I had just put them on and the car is a bit dirty. 19X10 rears with 5mm spacers and 19X8.5 fronts with 12mm spacers...
