Hey Dustin, it's Rob (techknowledgy from stanceworks forum), wheels turned out great!! are you happy with your adapter and tire setup? I went with 19mm all around (new offset of +5 all around). I know for your tires you went with 215/35/19 in front and a 225/35/19 in the rear. I'm thinking of running 225/35/19 in front and a 235/35/19 in the rear....any thoughts? anyone else wanna chime in?

I think that tire size would work for you with a 19mm adapter. Shouldnt be a problem at all with a little bit of a fender roll in front and shave and pull in the rear. Plan on maxing out the camber to fit it though.
