Such thin sidewalls...25 and 30 aspect ratios look totally wrong.

Once it's lowered it will look right.

I was thinking the same thing, you're a man of vision and one who thinks ahead

Nice ride. Those rims are sharp.

Be sure not to let your dealer wash your car. FWIW

I like the plastidipped trim..looks sweet on the rear. I'd pass on those chrome door handle shells tho IMO. I've never been a fan

I wasnt referring to the wheel gap. The aspect ratio is still wrong and looks funny despite lowering.


Not trying to bust your *****, love the car and the wheel choice is great, it's just that your tire advisor sold you the wrong tires.

@ D&G-Car has been lowered with H&R springs and has settled in nice, stance is much better like I predicted.
@PeterUbers- ride quality is to be expected to diminish a bit from lowering and low profile tires. The car is driven daily and is still comfortable during long hours of driving. I personally like it since all of the cars I'ved owned have been lowered.

I think if you ran 245/30/20 (fronts) and 285/295-25-20 (rears) (if you were aiming for that 25 series look), then it wouldn't look so stretched/thin. Other than that, looks great!!!! looks bling!
