19x9.5 square? What offset are you running?

Do you think there's room for wider tires?

They are quite a bit quieter than stock. They also feel and tram very well. I haven't put many miles on the yet so can't provide a full review.

they're most likely +35 if they're newer TE37s as the older ones were +34. you can put up to a 275 on the rear...anything higher may be pushing it. i think someone on fb put 285, but can't remember is he moved to a 19x10 wheel.

My car needs a wash after driving in the rain yesterday but my friend and his dad stopped by at the Salt Lick BBQ after the Lonestar Rod and Kustom Roundup in Austin yesterday before heading back to Houston today.

After the pollen, rain, and general business of my life have calmed down, I hand-washed mine for the first time in a month.

Full disclosure, I'm going to have to go over the grille again. I already know it.

Bug guts on the grill and water spots get the rage going for me.

I seriously might get a tiny microfiber and ceramic coat the grill. Mine is like 75% clean now with a foam bath and scrub, but I need to super finger every single hole in the grill to get it all the way clean now. I guess once every 2 years isn't bad.

I'm kinda tempted to try a non-ph neutral cleaner to see if it will eat that dirt off while being safe for paint still. They have wheel cleaner that will eat off dirt and brake dust without touching it, maybe it will work on the grill too.

My advice, use a pressure washer to clean the grill and remove all bugs as soon as you can and use a leaf blower to dry it!! Best way ever!!
