Thanks guys...

couldn't be happier with the H&R Race/Koni yellow combo. The ride is really smooth...

I would pick M-tech shift knob and break handle over those ACS.
Wheels looks good, so does the drop. Good job!!!!

looks good man, a more aggressive offset in the back would have sat more flush with the fender, but some spacers will do the trick.

Thanks...

I'm having spacers installed next week hopefully...just trying to decide how far to push out the rims...I don't really wanna have to roll the fenders...but i guess I'd do it if that's what it takes to make the car look its best.

Any suggestions? Anyone with the same offset/springs combo out there?

What's your current offset in the back? I'd suggest you to push out a little more but don't know your offset to start with.

Very aggressive drop! I'd get some spacers in the rear for a more flusher though.

I listed the offset at the top...I've copied the info below

-19" TSW Indy-500 (19x8 front 1" lip and 19x9.5 back w/ 2.75" lip), Toyo TR1s 235/35 front and 265/35 back
-H&R Race Springs


I'm actually looking for spacers but would like to hear from you guys what kind of spacers I should install...

Any suggestions? Would like to avoid having to roll fenders if possible...but I'd be willing to do it if it'll make a lot of different in terms of how it all looks at the end.

Where's the offset? All you stated was how big your wheels are (19 inches) and how wide they are (8 inches in front, and 9.5 in rear). Also are you sure you're running the correct size tires? the front looks good, but 265/35/19 in the rear? Should be 265/30/19.

Buddy, you did not specify any offset info. in your post. We can not help you with just the rim sizes.

Sorry dude...thought i had stated the offset...and you're right about the rear tires...they are 265/30/19...

The offset is 45mm...

What sort of spacer do you think I'll need?

15mm spacer to bring it to the normal/semi-aggressive looks.

Thanks...
What do you suggest if i want a more aggressive look than the normal/stock stance? How far do you think i can go before having to roll the fenders?
