Yessir these are a knockoff but are made in more aggressive specs these are actually (F)225/35-19x9.5+22w/5mm spacer, (R)245/35-19x10.5+30w/5mm spacer. My options were to go 5mm more aggressive,or 5mm less aggressive than my Works (which fender pull and or camber arms need to be added to go anymore aggressive)I knew going down 1 inch in rim diameter would allow me to go more aggressive cause i would gain 1/2 inch of room before the lip of my rim would meet the fender when tucking and at this point would be cambered in more so than at this same point on the 20. However I have never actually tested this theory to determine how many mm's I would actually gain so I figured I would just go less aggressive and add a 5mm spacer and have the exact same offset as Work wheels

Are you swapping the studs as well when you put the spacers on? I know you bought the works in the offsets you exactly wanted so you didn't need spacers anymore.

I pride myself on always being on top of my game, I had longer studs from installing V1 Ichiba 10mm spacers all around, I wanted to tie the car into the wheels but didn t want to have the black on the rim so I decided to get black, extended, open end, lugs so just incase the studs were too long I had extended studs with open ends i also had rear Megan camber arms on
hand when we installed them just incase they were to aggressive, I absolutely didn t want a fender roller to touch my car. The Work wheels are what you see no spacers but had to roll with the 5s on the Black wheels but switching from one set up to the next is simple and they are both money!!

Murder. A fan if pulled off right, which in your case, no pun intended but you pulled the murder off to perfection. Not a fan but love yours. It looks so mean. In most states you have so many illegal fix it tickets lol

why don't you want to touch your car with a fender roller? if you take it to someone that whats up that dent on the left rear 1/4 panel where your wheel is rubbing will look a lot better. I'm sure by now it's down to bare metal under there anyways. it's funny to me how people refuse to roll when it does more damage not to. looks bad *** tho. not a fan of the avs. too wavey. stands out especially on a car like yours. is the side moldings on the bottom of you doors painted solid black?
