Pimping new wheels....
well i tried to hold back from posting....but i just couldn't...pics just look too nice....got me some new shoes....
19x8 Moda R6's on 245/35-19 Toyo Proxes4
1) these tires grip like no other. oh my god, i'm in complete awe. only downside is going through construction sites, it does more than it's work of picking up every single damn pebble.
2) my right rear and front left is rubbing a bit when i hit a bump. i'm gonna raise the coils a bit, but i'm already working on gettin my fenders rolled. i guess the uneven height wasn't so noticable on 16's, but now on 19's, i can see it clearly, those 2 are lower than the others, which are NOT rubbing.
other than that, here ya go....so so yummy. i dont know why it looks like an extra large IS300.

if i get the fenders rolled, then i'm prolly goin back down to a good tuck. and for shows, it's dragging on the floor.
thanx for the compliments guys. i actually think i'm done with the car...i've done everything i could possibly think of. nothing more to do but go turbo, which i don't plan on doing for another 2 years (more important debts to pay off)
i'm all out of ideas. anyone got any?

The lip really sets off the look too. I'm not much for tucking so I think it'll look even better after you raise her up a bit.

ChromeSE5 - will let you know when i get home
Arnold K - want my address too while you're at it.
nothing against you man, but last thing i want is people knowing where to "look for me"....if you see me, you'll recognize me. no hard feelings. i don't trust many people on the org. stories have been told. things have happened.
Conrad - and to think it was lower, but it had to go up cause of the rubbing
IgS - Ange...Redlinemax....she'll beat tirerack if you're local.
Redstratic - i like the leather idea..some stiching on it perhaps...twotone...it's an idea..hmmm

ChromeSE5: 16's were tire size of 215/55-R16
Phat2k1AE: i actually have no clue what the offset of these wheels are. anyway for me to find out. is it stamped somewhere inside the rim. i just bought them w/out really thinking about it. i personally didn't think 8's would really cause an issue. but...i guess they have!!
for promising not to post pics and then posting them.
