I hate waiting- wheels on order

I just placed my order for the TSW Nurburgring 19" staggered in matte black. Going with 245-35-19 up front and 275-30-19 out back. And I will be dropping the car off friday to get h&r lowering springs installed.

Only bad thing is the tsw's are back ordered and I won't see them for a month

I'm very impatient, but at least lowering the car should hold me over.

I probably should have waited until after i installed all this to through the thread up but I'm excited and impatient.

Oh, and I should be getting this for Christmas:

Yes we do!

I'm not exactly sure on the offset as I bought them as a package from wheels next.com and I used the wheel finder which picks the correct one for your car. Looking at my email receipt, i believe upfront they are a 32 and 41 for the rears.

It should be fine as I have a 20mm spacer on the rears and they sit flush with the fender. I'm thinking these should be a little more tucked actually.

I too, have bought lots of things on eBay and - knock on wood - haven't been burned. My rule of thumb is to "buy the seller, not the product" and if anything seems the least bit off, I'll move on.

Many of the crooks have moved on to Craigslist which still seems like the wild west.

Zacly how I feel CEB,,its almost automatic now when I need an item what ever it might be,,1st I check the vendor for availability and price,,just for s***s and giggles I'll peruse Ebay. The seller has to have decent feedback and heck,,its usually cheaper there.

tire pressure

I got TSW's (Mallory5 matte black) with Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus this past summer. Front is 245/35-19 and rear is 285/30-19. They were installed with about 3psi more than recommended (sticker on door jamb). Anyone know how to determine or calculate the correct setting?

I would stick to whats indicated on the gas filler door. Its never steered me wrong even with aftermarket wheels. If you load up the car...u mite need to increase accordingly.
