Nothing Fancy, Element Wheels. Inspired by another fellow CL member. Has an OEM look. No drop, I'm guessing its my aged springs, just new OEM style gas shocks. I would really like to go an inch wider all around.

I preferred the +1 wheel size upgrade. I didn't like how the 20" wheels made the car look and I'm more interested in putting more rubber on the pavement.

My rear wheels are 19X11 with 295 tires.

Nice. I was going for the OEM look too. I got my inspirations from this picture. I'm afraid the design of my wheels will make 19's look too small.

I've heard General Gmax's have soft sidewalls. Anyone recommend pirelli P zero's?
I've got Vossen 20s and the potholes on 295 in Baltimore are killing me. Let me know if you go down to nineteens.

Nice! What did those wheels run you and what size tires do you have. Any rubbing issues?

8.5" Front Offset: 35 mm (needed 30mm)
10.5" Rear Offset: 40 mm

My original post. Don't know how my wheels ended up rubbing the caliper. Wish I got the right back spacing.
