As you can see the rear tires are pretty thick, but it looks very flush. I had to get my rear fenders shaved and Backyard Creations did it for me.

These rims are the HRE Competition series and HRE informed me that these are the lightest competition series rims they make. The front rim weighs 21.4lbs and the rear rim weighs 22.1lbs. The front tires weigh 23lbs, while the rear weigh 29lbs.
So the front weighs 44.4lbs and the rear weighs 51.1lbs compared to the stock rim weights of 50.6lbs for the front 19x8 and 54.4lbs for the rear 19x9. Now I just need to drop the front a little bit and it will look nice.

Enjoy everybody...or not...

Nice. What do you mean by shaving the fenders? Does that mean you can't put back the stock rims because it would look weird? Also how much was your setup? Thanks.

Shaving the rear fenders was for the rear tire/rim set up to work because I am running 19x10.5 for the rear, while the stock rims are 19x9 for the rear. So it will not affect my ride if I put on my stock rims. The price fo the setup for the rims, tires, tpms sensors, and bolts was around 7k...

Stock wheels looked better IMO. To each is own. HRE's are nice wheels though. Although u wanted performance...20's would have "looked" better. Long as your happy thats what matters.
