yea the car is pretty low. It has springtech lowering springs and they drop it about 1.75 inches. Parts of the exhaust pipe and the cat scrapes on some speed bumps and the front plastic under the bumper is pretty scraped up on my car. But I have not had any problems with the tires rubbing and my fenders are not rolled. The tires are 245/40/18 all around but i plan on getting 265's in the back in the future. The 245's are a little bit small for the 9.5" rims in the back but they are alright for now.

i am not exactly sure of the weight of these rims. I will be putting competition tires on my stock rims for autocrossing in the spring. I am not sure what ones yet though. So i was not really concerned about the weight of these rims.

the tires are 245/40/18 all around. They fit on both the 8.5 width in the front and the 9.5rim width in the back. Eventually i want to move up to 265/35/18's in the back but i will have to roll my fenders to get them on.

i actually have drilled/slotted rotors in my garage with new pads and steel braided brake lines. I just have to put them on. I also plan on either painting the calipers black or red while im at it.

i almost bought the same wheels that you have. Those are the ADR cyphers right? I went with the m-sports because i like the deep lip on these rims. Both wheels look great and are very reasonably priced.

Yup they are the cyphers. What size tires did you put on the 9.5 rears? Feel any different?

not to sound like a total tire/rim noob (oh wait i am) but what do you mean by rooling the fenders..or what does that entail? i didn't think 265 for the rear was to crazy over the top..thought that size would just fit in nice and snug.
