yea so funny thing is my car seems to sit lower than with my stock wheels. I was expecting the gap to look bigger but it's really not that bad at all. it is not lowered and I do not have the sport suspension or anything non-stock in that department. looks good for just throwing the wheels on eh?
do you mind take few more pics from different angel for viewing? i'm thinking follow your path but i don't want 4x4 look after spending on the shoes. how is the ride after upgraded wheels install? thx

Wheels finally installed, sorry for the low quality cell phone pics.
Specs:
Make: ZE Forged Mesh wheels, General G-Max AS-03 tires
Front: 19x8, ET40 with 225/40R19
Rear: 19x10, ET25 with 255/35R19
Rear fenders just barely clear, will probably roll them slightly at some point.

Ummm 
I think your tire size(s) are off 
... those seems to be 3-series size ... heck even 3-series are on 235/265 I think ...
You might wanna stay w/ 245/275 (or even better 285) width so the speedo stay in sync & the lip of the wheel is better protected ... to add more cushion you may opt for a taller sidewall to 40/35 as oppose to the common 35/30.

I was thinking about getting taller sidewalls but than it would actually throw off the speedo.
The other reason i got skinner tires was because i thought wheels were gonna be more flush.
I did not want to rub tires on fenders but wheels are not as flush as I was hoping
