black on black crime! lol looks different in a good way..something you dont see often

i have a question about those federal tires: I've read a few threads on other forums regarding the fitment of them, i heard they run a size bigger..so if i decide to go with 225&245/35/19, i should go with 215&235/35/19..Is that correct?

they might be slightly wider, however my fitment is really close and I didn t rub and I also have 20s with the same set up

The car sounds awesome and looks like it should be parked next to Batmans Lamborghini Murcielago in his batcave, good work sir!

When I went to streets of willow in my 2007 E60 M5, I got the same lap time I did in my GS350, the track is a low speed tight cornering track but if you can actually handle a car, the GS is sports sedan , its not a Luxury Garage Queen. On the big track at willow springs I kill my GS lap times but on a small track, i can't budge those GS350 times. If the GS had an extra 200hp it be awesome on the big track. I just hate when these guys degrade there own car, its as sporty as any other car guys.

Good work though, I love it.
Thanks bro!

my wheel setup will be slightly more aggressive than your setup you have on now. Im gonna run 19x9.5 +14 19x10.5 +22, I will need a little more stretch than what you have. Do you think the 215&235/35/19 is a good idea?

that should be fine you might need to pull your fenders with those specs its real close the 19s give you a little more room to poke out i wasn t trying to have any issues so i went 9.5 +17 and 10.5 +25 as far as tires do they make a 215/35-19 ??? if so go for it can t be any worse than me riding my 225/30 on a 9.5 post pics

not my style, but well executed. Need to figure out a fix to the visor bowing in on the drivers rear; only weak spot I see, but it stands out due to the high gloss of everything.
