Many thanks to Herb and his staff. Great service.

Any way you can post some close up pictures of the rear and front tires. I'm getting some iForged 20x8.5F & 20x10R and I want to run 285's or 295's but the place I'm getting them at doesn't think I can run 285 without rolling fenders. Thanks!

Pkorkis - Don't forget to consider your cars could be drastically different in spring rates, shocks, sport options, etc. given you have a 545 vs. Busta's 525.

Looks good Busta

How's the ride quality? Any plans of lowering? Can you pm me of how much you got them for?

Thanks!

Yeah that's true, I've heard that w/ sport package 245/35's will rub in the front and that 245/30 are better. I think i'm going w/ 245/30F & 275/R.
Busta, those spirits looks real good on black. Good looking ride, such a huge difference compared to stock!

im sorry but you are really misinformed.. I am lowered on h&r's and I have 245/35/20 and I don't rub at all however I do rub in the rear.. but for somone with a sports package I don't think you should have any rubbing problems with a 245/35/20 or a 285/30/20
