Looks like we've got more room than we thought gentleman

Did they mention what size tires they are using with that setup? Are they running 215/35/19 like you? I'm considering some wheels that are 19x8.5 with a 35mm offset just woundering.

[Jealouslover]

Yes the motorsports setup is 19s with 35mm offset. Be warned that your tires will rub going over bumps if u do that. Mine fits just inside the well at 43mm

Not too many 19" that I like within my price range. Most have bad offsets. I'll Probably just go with 18x7.5 with a 45 offset with eibach drop. Plenty of options there. Too much traffic calming (speed bumps / humps) around where I live. Wounder what a perfect tire size would be for the 18's

[Jealouslover]

I researched 18s alot. Perfect is all opinion but the best look in my opinion is a 225/35-18. Your speedo will be almost exactly oem as well

Hey I see you have had these for over a year now. Are they still riding good and no rubbing issues. Do you have any more pictures.

Angel how much did you lower your car, and what's your size and offset Of your rims and tires and did you have to roll your fenders?

[_AnGeL_]

I have the Eibach pro kit--so it's lowered ~1.2"

Wheels are 20 x 8 +35 offset

Tires - 225/30/20

Rear fenders on the forte come pre-rolled and the fronts aren't rolled. I get rubbing in the rear at times but it's mainly because I have a bunch of added weight back there because of my stereo system (~200lbs).

I do want to lower it more though . If I don't sell it, I'll slam it one day lol.

[Jerbou71]

After all the work you did to it you might sell it now? Are you coming saterday to the mountain?

[_AnGeL_]

Can't man, have family coming down my way Saturday.

I'm still debating on selling it or not, lol. I get fixed on doing things every now and then, and then it goes away. So this might just go away once it gets ncier out and I can do more stuff with the car.
