Enjoy..

Specs: F - 19xx8.5 +43 R - 19x10.5 + 35
Tires: F - 245/35/19 R - 275/30/19

Thanks! I am still trying to decide whether or not to keep the S1 rear aero flares on. Good thing is that it's held on by double side tape and a single screw on the inner fender liner. So, I can take it off anytime without damage to the bumper or paint. I would prefer to find an OEM S2 rear flares similar to fiberglass piece by M's Customz.

Sometimes I regret getting another S1.

S2's look beautiful.

You didn't have to roll your rear fenders? No rubbing over bumps or hard turns?

Looks great!

Thanks everyone! I did have to roll my rear fenders and trim a little bit of the top plastic fender liner to clear. The mods are very minor. Will be installing some H&R 15mm spacers in the front this week with extended studs. Goddesshunter, you have first dibs on the rear aero flares if I decide to take them off.

Damn - those look really nice. I am hoping someone will post a Series 2 with some Advan RS rims. I really think it will look great, but don't want to shell out the money to try it out myself.

How do the staggered wheels handle? Any understeer now that you have 8.5" in the front and 10.5" in the back?

No understeer since the tires are not too far apart 245vs 275. However, the 275s in the rear makes the car stay much more planted in turns where you can push harder and not break the tail loose.

Those look like Type 1 on the rMagic car and mine are Type 2 with a lip. Either way, 275 is damn beefy looking

I would pay someone to not put those side mirrors on their R3. Nice wheels thought!
