I dunno, I don't like the wing, but it also looks super bare without it. That's why I think a 5" wraparound from Hawks would be awesome.

Well they are $275 Yokohama AVS Sport Tires, so handling has been improved, but i have no comparison becuse i got the 19x8's, SFC, STB all at the same time...

Yes they do rub, you need to modify the wheel well to make them fit, I had to cut away some of the metal and removed the plastic covers over the wheel........

i was thinking of going with 17 x 8's for my fronts, so i guess im still going to need to do some modifying ... did you have to modify your rear for the 19x 9's..

last question i promise, did a shop do it?

Before you base you dicision on the 8's rubbing in the front, remember, my wheels are two inches bigger, so they stick farther towards the plastic and it's lowered, so it may be different for your car...

I had to take an Milwaukee Industrial grinder to the rear wheel weels to remove the lip completely off, in order for the wheels not to rub.....

I did it myself....only took a couple of hours....

FLYNLOW92rs those wheels look wicked. And leave the spoiler off as the car looks much better without it.

As for everyone else. Stop moaning about the price of gas. Over here in the UK we pay almost the equivalent of $7 a gallon.
