Rawrx8 - running light = the light in the headlight closest to the center of the car. You are talking about the corner lights.

I did the same thing. The running light always bothered me. Looks a lot better this way IMO.

very noob question...i have 19x9.5 +35 for my rear...im getting 245/35/19.....

BUT ...i thought of getting maybe 245/40/19 ....

-would that raise my rear ?
-by how much ? ....not asking for a number ...just physical eye judgement.....running 215/35/19 in the front....
-and would that change the stretch ? coz i was told its gonna be slightly stretch for 245/35/19 and i dont wanna RE-roll my fender if it changes the stretch and hits the fender if i get a the 40

That won't hit your fender. It's not necessary to run that thin of a tire with that size/offset of wheel. Main problem I see is the back tire will be taller than stock and the front will be smaller than stock. Your car won't like that.

The tire has more sidewall, so it will obviously raise your car lol. Use a tire calculator to find that out.

I like it. They are saying to make it lower? The front seems pretty damn low to me.

It is indeed pretty low but it's got a bit of rake going on making the rear look a bit high. The tires are a bit sunk, which also typically makes cars seem extra low. Overall, cool color combo though

edit: Forgot to mention, a bit wider wheels and a different exhaust would make me like it a bit more, still nice though.

Wow there's no way he could make that go lower IMO... It's perfect how it sits now but I agree with imput, take some camber off.
