Luke, are the wheels going to still be available due to the mismatch paint issue or is O.Z. going to do away with this wheel completely?

I like mine to sit flush and my worry is that the front's may not sit flush but may require spacers. Thanks! Can't wait to see your pics!
What Luke said on the offsets/sizes plus I did some calculations and determined that the wheels were going to sit too far inboard (for me anyway) so I added 10mm spacers and longer wheel bolts on all four corners. So far the rears look great and I'll post up some pics when the fronts are done.

Wheels installed minus the front spacers. Seems the hubs are just a tad different than the rears so the spacers I bought didn't fit. New ones to try being sent via overnight from Evosport as I type....

They turned out beautiful IMO.



Lots more pics here:

Thanks BTW. It does look pretty good if I don't say so myself.

Put the front spacers on tonight thanks to the guys at Evosport, when I called with my issue they jumped right on it and I had the right spacers at 8:30am this morning. While the difference is subtle with the 10mm spacer on each side I think it made a significant difference in the stance.

awsome! Thank you Chuck for sharing these awsome pics of your new toy! I think the spacers do make a difference. I have 8.5 up front too and I think it's inside the wheel well too much by around 1/2 inch. I am getting spacers in there too to make them nice, like yours! great job! Any other mods coming on this baby?

Thanks! The only other things we'll probably do to the car will be to lower it and an exhaust system.

Luke, what is the offset of the 19x11 rears? 42 and/or 45?

I assume neither will clear the '04 R230 SL600 (No TPMS) without the need for spacers?

The only reason is I want to run a 305/30-19 RE11 or 305/30-19 PS2. I assume for both I will need the 11in rear and the 10in will not do correct?

Thanks
