I just got my 19" rims and tires installed. I went with Anthracite Axis Hiros and 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 tires. My problem is wheel gap. The rear wheel gap is 1" bigger than the fronts and it looks really, really weird.

In a perfect world, there would be lowering springs that dropped .5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. Without the use of coilovers, do these springs exist?

My Eibach springs arrive on Tuesday, but I am hesitant to install them if the wheel gap will remain uneven.

 

PS- What about Hotchkis front and Eibach rears? Or Eibach front and H&R rears? I know mixing springs is supposed to be bad, but I am not going to be autocrossing with it.

 

Decent front height with monster truck rear.

 

Sorry I don't mean to change the subject but is it just me or does it look like that whole area on the inside of your brake rotors and calipers (inside wheel well) should be painted black?

Is it just me or does it look odd painted the same color as the car?

To me it looks like they forgot to install a black plastic panel or something?

Would it be acceptable to shoot some kind of black bed liner type rubberized stuff on it or at least have it painted black?

By the way nice wheels:-D

 

Are you sure that rear tire is a 275/35 and not a 275/30?

If it is a 275/35, you must be running it on a 10.5" Hiro?

 

the tire does look a little too skinny in the rear.

 

Just quadruple checked. They are defiitely 275/35/19 in the rear. The lighting also looks goofy because of the flash.

 

Ive got 19s on my car. I went with the hotchkis kit. Dropped about .5 in front and close to 1 inch in the rear after settling in. Looks great IMO. BEN

 

I have the same experience after installning my new wheels, fronts has a quite ok gap but rears have way to much gap (though not as extreme as asu's)... I have 275/30/20 on the rear and the front which is 0.2" smaller rear and 0.5" larger diamter front. Could be abit less diameter rear due to strech on a 10.5" wide rim compared to 9" on the front.

Coilovers would be nice but they are quite expensive compared to just springs and i think the stock shocks are quite perfect in hardness while the springs could be abit stiffer, especially now to coope with my sticker 275 tires...

- So are there any lowering springs that lowers atleast 1" more rear then front, or do we need to go coilovers?

I also just noticed that my rear right side sits 1/4" higher than my rear left. I might have to get coilovers afterall.....

I thought I was the only one with that problem. My car appears a bit "tilted", even my girlfriend has commented on it. I wonder what causes this problem and if negatively affects vehicle handling. I know I definetly want either coilovers of air suspension later on...

 

Hotchkis springs will fix your problem!
