Drilled AND slotted right? I'm probably gonna go with those after I get my factory ones turned one more time. What pads did you use? Total cost? If you don't mind me nosing. It looks good man. I have BS also and hate rainy days when it gets the dark blue look to it.

Edit: Obviously drilled and slotted. I clicked on the picture to zoom. :P

Ok, this changes everything. When do you plan on lowering? If it will be while you still have this set of tires and seeing as you already own the wheels with those offset you should go with the 255 or 265 rear. If it will be as long as the next set of tires go 275 rear.

I know it's annoying being told constantly to get a drop, but that will look soooo good with those wheels and offsets. Of course it looks good as is, but the difference is night and day.

How much were they? I see there is a set in the classifieds, but I have seen them cheaper brand new and his aren't drilled.

i'm probably not going to lower any time soon because i'm not going to be driving a lot because i have to travel a lot for work.

i need to get new tires on there now because the tires on there are pretty bald and i want them off. so you would suggest going 275 when i place my order?

Pretty annoying when people keep on repeating the obvious. I wish I had a dollar each time someone here has told me to get a drop.

Im not a fan of stretched tires. The exhaust looks sweet though.

What that camber at? Looks like mine I'm at -3.4 but anyways 225/35/20 and 255/30
Is a nice stretched tire/ slammed setup. On this setup would look absolutely bad lol, go with a 235/35 front and a 265/30 rear and you can play from there with height cause that will clear even a slammed height

Unfortunately, he's stuck with stretched tires cause of the offsets, lowered or not....

There should be a rule that you always lower the car first, before investing in your wheels, so you can get them dialed in..... I think lowered on stocks looks better... than aftermarket wheels without lowering...imo


Op, please, at least go eibach springs, still very drivable, then maybe trade your wheels for the +32/+42 set up...

here's what 32/42 with 245/35 and 275/30 looks like....

thanks doggy - that's what i'm leaning towards. unfortunately i wasn't able to find too many 265/30 tires so i might have to go 255/30 in the rear
