A few updated pics since changing wheels and tires from full square set up 19x8.5s with BFG g-Force COMP-2 A/S 245/45ZR19 to squared 19x9.5s with staggered Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, 255/40R19 & 275/40R19

The wrap is the only thing I did not do myself. Because I wanted 3M 2080 film, I did not dare try it on my own. I selected 3 potential local shops from online research and visited each before making my final selection. I had the hood, roof, and trunk lid wrapped in a carbon fiber pattern and all of the chrome trim and door handles in gloss black.

Is there any chance you have pictures (that show the wheel to fender/quarter gap at the your cars stock ride height? My car doesn't have air ride and I am trying go get an idea how wheels like yours would look without being lowered (I might do it someday just not in the cards time wise for me).
Thanks again for all of your help

First, thank you for taking the time to help me out on this. I really appreciate it. Second, do you know if the SWB non air ride cars have roughly the same base ride height as your car? If that is the case I could live with (not be annoyed every time I look at it) the way your car sits for a while.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

No worries, glad to help. I believe the heights are relatively in the same ballpark, however, at the various age/mileage these early models are at now there may be some slight differences if shocks/springs are original, new, aftermarket, etc. May be best if you measure yours from the ground to bottom, center of fender and I'll do the same next chance I get. Car is parked and covered right now due to expected rain today.

From post#40, although on 20s, the rears are about same overall diameter as mine. And fronts are about 0.65" larger than mine, so the gap is filled in a bit more. This is a 2013, and post #52 is an '08 but no side profile pic.

It is crazy the difference in the front to rear gaps from the white car in post 40 and the black car in post 52. The gaps on the white car aren't "that" bad. It almost looks like I could get my fist between the fender and the top of the front tire on the black car.

A good realistic fiction book
A good realistic fiction authors typically has believable characters and a plot that could plausibly happen in the author’s life or in the life of someone the author knows.
