Id go with a lower offset, will look much better than 42mm which will look super tucked.

Might be the way the photos were taken, but it looked better before the drop... You need a good strip/polish/detail. I would suggest some wheels that are no more than 35mm offset, you could go a bit more, if you can find 30mm then I'd do that to bring things flush in the front and put a 5 or 10mm spacer in the back.

Nah looks better lowered slightly, just needs wheels, those are one of worst looking stock wheels offered for this car. Wheels and suspension make the car.

What’s up with the bra? Just let the rock chips fly. Ruins the look.

I was asking is the brand Le bra? Also just messing with you lol. Car will look much better after you get wheels. You did it the right way imo, suspension then wheels. Im not a fan of big aftermarket wheels on stock suspension.

lol I honestly got one just because it looks mean with the ski mask on. But I will take it off when I get coating or a wrap. Not sure what I want. And feds took my taxes so I'm going to wait on my rims 😆

I see what you’re saying, maybe get rid of the bra and do a chrome delete on the front end.

Followed a few forum member’s advice and went with 245/45R 18’s on the UL wheels, Continental Contiprocontact TX’s. Handles substantially better, feels more planted on the highway, soaks up bumps with taller sidewalls, grip is awesome, very happy. Also fills out the wheel wells better than the undersized 225’s.

Yes, lowered it just over an inch last march. It sat very high on stock springs paired with the low profile 225’s.



Stock ride height wtf

Default pirelli cinturato p7 discontinued?

So it looks like the famous P7 is no longer. I cannot find it. I purchased a set over 2 years ago based on the recommendations from this forum and man they were wonderful, but now I need to replace them. What other tires you guys recommend that are similar in ride quality and quietness but can still handle well in bad weather?
