not sure why you would go 10" all the way round if you are going to run the wrong tire size on the front. let me guess, 275 rear, and probably 235 front tires?

WOW!! super agressive offset. ive got 19x9.5 all around, with 40 offset, 255/35 rubber all around. also im lowered with eibach's 1.2 kit. but it seems to be lower than other peoples 2 inch drop. and no rubbing, but im also cambered quite a bit in the rear. cant even fit a pinky finger between the fender and the tire back there.
a couple pics to show em off better

Diiiirty, I like!

Thus the fender roll for me!!! HA HA. Looks nice, still working on my suspension, need to decide springs (Tein S is my thought), or coilovers (and if I even can with my offset). I also want to move to 245 front / 275 rear. I can still break the *** loose pretty easy, gotta love the turbo.

IMO, coilovers are a waste of time and money, unless you track your car frequently. Personally, I love the eibach springs. but then again, ive used them on most of my other cars, i guess im getting set in my old ways. lol

Those +24 offsets look terrible. Sell those to a Z owner and get yourself some proper fitting wheels.

Ummmm, it's not flush. It's past the fender by a good bit.

I don't need a lesson on my personal taste and general observation. Enjoy your wheels.
