it is the silly weather stripping. Need to see if I can fix it. It's been that way for months.

This reminds me that I'm in the 7th year with my car. I should probably have this done, sometime.

I have to say... i think silver pairs best with carbon fiber. Others colors dont even come close.

The wheels really go with the overall scheme! Awesome ride zmcgovern4!

Quick question, think i can get away with 285/25 on my back aftermarket wheels im putting swift springs on after winter ? theyre 10.5" with +45 offset. Gonna put 245/30 on the fronts since theyre the same offset as yours

i would not run a 285 on that setup. You're going to be around 7mm more aggressive than my rear setup. I am not lowered in the rear, but I can still rub in the rear on large dips/bumps. My fenders are rolled flat. The previous owner of my wheels was lowered on swift springs and rubbed often. So with more aggressive wheel specs you are bound to run without some camber tweaks.

On my old IS250 my rear was a 19x10.5 +45 and I had to run a 255 tire in the rear to not rub, but I was quite low.

You may have to roll your fenders.

Hmm thats weird ive seen guys with the same specs i told you on here on the wheels thread and some are even 11" on the back and they said they never rubbed or adjusted the fenders.. Most tire places are saying i can go with 285 too

BTW i forgot to mention mine are 20" not 19s
