Alright everyone i need to know if i made a good buy or not!

Now keep in mind i have a baby girl on the way so i cant really afford the Work Equips or Vs's i wanted!

So here it is, i just bought a set of ADR M sprots with good General brand rubber! Let me know if i made a good buy, I payed $900 shipped

The specs are
19 x 8.5 Wheels, 245/35/19 Tires Front

19 x 9.5 Wheels, 275/30/19 Tires Rear

5 x 114 Bolt Pattern

35 mm Offset

Is this a good set up for the SC??

* Approx 80% Tread Remaining Front & Approx 65% Tread Remaining Rear!

The 35mm offset is too conservative, Your wheels will still looked tucked under the fender...I'm running 18x8.5 (+22 offset) in the front and 18x9.5 (+25 offset) in the rear, and my set up is very aggressive looking and the wheels are perfectly flushed with my fenders.

if you don't want major headaches with rubbing, this would be an OK set up...the front can be more aggressive, but with that, you might only need to roll the rears slightly depending on tires
