Looks good, congrats. So what tire size did you finally decide on going with? May I suggest some black kidney grills add'd to your list as well. Happy motoring

245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. The rims are M6 offsets.
had a feeling you went with the M6 offset, they do look flush in the rear , good call going with the wider offset.

Got to trash that spoiler! 
Car looks great though.
Next mod that is a must need, window tint!

Dunno about the tint. I don't want the car to look like a drug-dealer-mobile. Plus, I'm in Illinois, illegal to have driver/passenger side tints which sucks. I might do 70% all around which is so slight you won't notice it during the day, at least cops might not....

Yea, I have been looking around for speed shops to do the job. Dealers won't touch that, plus I have to be careful as I have an extended warranty and don't want to risk voiding it. I'm not too concerned about the ride quality. I can tell you one thing though, going from 225/50/17's to 275/30/19's in the rear and fatter/lower wheels in the front has turned my car into a smooth-riding tank on a flat surface its amazing. The handling is just superb compared to what it was prior and I was on Eagle F1's before.
