Daaaamn!! Very nice!! Though the tires look beefier than the sizes you posted. Do you know the wheel specs? And by chance would anyone know what lip kit he's running? Looks badass!

From the Speedhunters article:

"Advan Racing RS 19″x9J +38 in the front and 19″x10J +35 in the rear. [...] Tires are Advan Neova 245/35/19 in the front, and 275/30/19 out back."

The provided offsets should carry over to a 18" wheel as well correct?

Don't have any good pictures of the tires from any angle lol, these are my best. But it's 245/35/19 275/30/19 19x8.5 19x10.5 With the air suspension I ride with about 1/2" wheel gap. I never rub even when I take corners fast (which isn't often) and my dampening isn't even that stiff. 22/30 front and 26/30 rear with AirLift struts. I don't even rub with a passenger, anymore people and I add more air haha. Could go a wider on the rear, idk about the front I haven't checked.

Love the meaty tires, not a fan of super low profile stuff you mostly see around.
