Nice wheels Jedi. Couldn't have gone with a better wheel. I love these Advans and consider them one of the best looking wheels of all time. Classic.

Congrats!

A little late, but worth the wait. Thanks Elf, I'm sure you'll see them soon.
Can we say....dyno day?

thanks RA-Eight. This really is the perfect size for these wheels. (for those wanting staggered)

Remember I'm old school and it has to be chrome - no chrome with them. I'm still looking.

rear fenders were rolled to make room for the 19x10's. No rubbing.

Notice any difference running a staggered setup now? Have you pushed it much?

You need to post some pics of the rear so we can see the 19/10/275's better HAWT!!!

I will interested in your feedback going staggered once you push it a bit in the corners. Did you change up your alignment?

I had the alignment done after I did my suspension (almost 2 years ago). I'm heading back in a week or so to get it redone.
I believe the rears are at approx negative 2.0. Might take a little bit out as I don't want to be changing rear tires every 10k.

I'll post rear pics this weekend and a review of how the car handles. I think a trip to Ortega Highway is in my near future.
