I really like the Work XT-7 wheels. I agree it needs a 1" drop and would look better with a wider tire (245 in the front). I am not a fan of stretched tires, but that can be changed after tire wear.

Good choice!

this is the tire size i am running as well. it does not rub that much on my setup, although if i were to heat gun it--it would have no rub whatsoever. just way too lazy.

jonjon, i am definitely liking your new ride more than the black one. and i am in love with maya rims.

Default my new wheels!

Finally I convinced my spouse of purchasing some rims.
Here they are:
Front: 19*8,5 with 225/35/19 Dunlop Sportmax ET 38
Rear: 19*9,5 with 275/30/19 Continental ET 40

I already regret not buying them in 20 inch (I already had the tires so...)
No rubbing at all!!

^ These look exactly like the MRR GT-1s. Nice exhaust by the way, how much do they cost if you don't mind telling?

Yes, looking exactly the same! Maybe its the same manufacturer? MRR isn´t available here. Price per unit for this size is EUR 328 incl. 19% tax.

NOOB Question. Why do most people get a smaller series rubber on the rear tires?

I understaed the width but why diffrent sidewall size?

Coming from a subaru I find this strange?
