Has anyone else not thought they could lower the car and it end up allright? My rear left looks a tad lower than the rear right, is this normal or could the shocks be failing? Its an 04' and it has the stock springs and shocks. Thanks

No, I havent tried to put tpms in these wheels. The funny thing is, my dash isn't acting as anything is wrong, no beeping and no lights or anything.

Just swapped out my wheels for these and I also installed TPMS and they fit great on these wheels. I am so digging the look.



Installed (need to clean tires!!)

Yes they are 18x9 +30 Rota Boost, I got them from Wheeldude.com they are on the Stock tires. 225/45/R18

I will be replacing them with 245/40/R18 when the time arises.
