Default Finally!!! New shoes.......

Hey guys:
Just wanted to share some pics of my shoes......Dronell Type 5 (3-piece)...19x8.5F..19x9.5R..+38 offset.....running 245/35-19 F and 285/30-19 R........LMK if you think the drop is okay....I was thinking of maybe raising it a bit so I don't have so much negative camber...Had it aligned...maxed out on positive adjustment and it still has about 1 degree of negative camber.....great in turns though....

Front rim:





Rear rim:

Very nice!!! Gotta love those lips!

Why is the camber a problem (just curious). Is it because of the size of the tire in the back? (285 versus the more common 275)

spectrabluelexi,

The rims and the car both look great. Gotta love that spectra blue color, it always makes the GS look even better.

Smooth,

Nice use of the color. I would have always thought it would be a hard color to make look good
