Is your car wrapped matte?

Looks stunning chap.

Same centre caps as I have on my Weds as well.

Really pleased with the quality of mine.

Looks great.

Just put mine on today with same specs and tire sizes but in BLC(blue light chrome finish). I'm at stock height but installing coils next week, BC racing with 14/10 swifts.
A bit of rubbing in front currently near full lock, hoping a minor drop in front will camber them in a bit more. Did you have to change tire sizes? I went with the same thick 245/40 275/35 sidewall due to the poor ride quality on the 08, but the coils may improve it so I could go to a 35/30 setup I guess.

Loving the BLC Finish! Hoping to add yellow calipers before the new year as well.
How are you liking them so far?

Nice.

Glad to see companies like Weds offering 19's now.

How close is the rear fitment? Just wondering if a 295/30/19 PSS would work on a 10.5 +45 with the ISF.

Haven't really had the chance to drive it as I'm waiting for my hub rings to come in(got sent incorrect size by accident), but it seems pretty tight. I've only come across 2 people before me with similar specs. Once I drop it on coils next week if I keep rubbing in front I'll go down to a 235/40 but I think 295 would cause issues or require heavy rolling/shaving. Here is a black link with 235/40 275/35.

Thanks for the kind words all!

I'm not worried about the fronts at all. They have the OEM offset available and I'm running a 255 in the front with the OEM offset now and zero rubbing issues. For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would want to deviate from stock offset if it's available especially in the front.

I am only concerned about the rears...so, it would seem unlikely a 295/30 PSS would fit without modification on the 10.5" rim with a +45 offset. That's only 6mm less than the 2012-2014 wheels, but it is an inch wider and a 295 is definitely more rubber than the 275 I have now.

For looks. My goal was a wider more aggressive looking stance to fill in the sunk in wheels while being able to put down more rubber with less wheel weight. Perhaps that's not everyone's goal, but I like having the best of all worlds without stretching tires or silly camber.

I'm running 255/35, 295/30 Bridgestone S-04 front to back on RCF wheels. As you know, 9s and 10s. 50mm front, 41mm rear offset. Fronts are not an issue. The inner lip of the wheel comes within a whisker of the A arm and the top of the tire is near the cotter pin. But absolutely no clearance issues. I have my rear fenders rolled flat. Fender rub is ALMOST completely eliminated. I'm aware of the potential, and drive carefully over speed humps and bumps (which everyone should do anyway). Sometimes a large road imperfection will cause a momentary rub. But, really I am very happy with the setup and the handling. I will NEVER go back to stock.

That sounds like it wouldn't work with a 10.5 rear and a 295 tire on the track. Hmmmm.
