New Silver Shoes

I just mounted my new rims and tires last weekend. They are 19x9.5 (275 30s) in the rear and 19.8.5 (245 35) in the front with a +35 OS. I wanted to wait until I purchased a second set of TPMS for them but never got around to it. The ride is great, however, I had to trim the fenders to prevent rubbage. I've also included a picture of my grocery getter (22x9.5 all corners) with my 8 with stockers in the background. This forum was a huge help in the sizing process and I can't thank the members enough.

The lip in the front is 2" and 3" in the rear. They are made by VSR (Import) and the quality/weight is above average for a single piece cast wheel. Thanks for the comps. I'm consdering finishing the appearance package and buying the front spoiler. I'm concerned that it will bottom out on everything.

Looks real nice! Did you get aftermarket springs? What parts of the appearance package do you have currently?

The paint job on your rear bumper is nice. Did you get it from the dealer like that?

Painted Rear

Thanks.....The Audi is a A8L.
I removed the bumper and had it painted with 200 miles on the clock. I didn't like the back in black (conditioned to think unpainted plastic = entry level auto). I had it sanded to remove the texture and repainted entire bumper. I had the "grill" painted black to offset all the red. Some pics...
