Not really true: time taken and personnel available to do the work come into the equation also. Most importantly though is the work ethic, attention to detail (IMO, this is more a function of personality of the technicians and supervisors than available time) and the overall quality control process the shop employs to catch their own mistakes.

Your are correct. It takes a very special technician to work on these cars at the level that our customers demand. We certainly arent perfect, but I couldnt be happier with the team. We have 5 lifts, 4 full time technicians, plus myself, and and two people in the office. And we are actually hiring, if you know anyone that is interested.

+1. These are my 19 x 10.5 +24 offset on 295/30 PS2's. They stick out just a C*u*n*t hair and almost unoticeable.

Day-yum!!! i didnt even think the 285's would fit. i rock the 275's on my volks with +23 offset. now that i have the tein flex and f&r camber kit, i might look into some wider rears when i buy new tires. did you roll the fenders at all?

It can be done. I've ordered a set of custom iForged 19x11 and 19x9.5 for my G and I will have 305/30's at the rear. I don't recall the offset, but it's supposed to clear the Stoptech 14" 4-piston rear brake setup (which I plan on getting down the road) and isn't supposed to stick out past the fenders. I will have to roll the rear fenders though.

P.S. Congratulations Judson. Glad to hear you are completely satisfied with the build. Enjoy!
