Default 19" wheels on my GS3 help
So... i have a chance to pick up some 19" for a pretty good price.. i test fitted the rear wheels to see if they will fit and they seem to fit pretty good but without driving on it i wont know if it rubs or not. rear tire size is 285 30 19. also when i test fitted them, i notice that it shows more of my rotor where the rim and rotor meets. is it safe or look right to you guys??? need your opinion. heres a couple pics.

YAY OR NAY on the wheels.....

Larger diameter wheel will make the caliper and rotor show more depending on style of wheel. In your case being a 19'' rim and 5 star it will show more. Its perfectly normal unless you do a BBK front and rear and then it will look more proportioned...

Wheels look good... Rock them for awhile and then upgrade...

sup guys! i liked the Z wheels and all but its a chance for me to upgrade. Today i stopped by to see if the wheels is still available and once they said "yes" i went ahead and bought it. i'll post some pics once its all cleaned and nice again. Basically i paid 500 for this set of 19" and SOLD my Z wheels the same day for 500cash. WIN WIN for me. lol

Time for front lip or lip kit
coilovers
and Tune up

285 rear? maybe 19x11s if so, shaved rear fenders and some camber will do..
