Cold Weather Package
These are my wheels that I have been waiting forever for! Please excuse the iphone pix along with my poor camera skills. I have a few more mods that should be happening this next weekend if everything arrives
The wheels are 19x8.5 et40 in front with 245/35/19 and 19x10 et38 in the rear with 275/30/19. I put kumho SPT's on the rims and am very happy with the improvment over the stock 17" Goodyear RS1's. The wider track with summer tires sure makes a hell of a difference, I'm loving it! Rgw ride actually feels better then the 17's, it's not harsh at all. I feel way more confident in corners now!
There is no rubbing at all but from the side profile pics I dont think i can drop it without modifications but who knows, maybe there would be just enough camber to pull a small drop off without rubbing.
Looking forward to next weekend when I will be putting on my ACS parts and euro stickers

Thanks for the comments. I'm really happy with the difference over my winter setup and cant believe how much more traction I have now! I hope I dont get myself into trouble enjoying it to much
