Default First pics...DB on XD9's

Here are three pics of my 07 DB on 18x9+20 18x10+18 Work XD9's. The tires are 245/40/18 front anf 275/35/18 rear. I just recently dropped the car on tanabe GF210's. Sorry for the crappy quality pics, they were taken on a camera phone. Thanks to Logan at Aspec for the expert advice!

Very clean, love DB was my first color choice but didn't have any left over. 18inchers look kinda small imo, looks great though.

I think that will settle some more on the springs, but is there any rubbing?

Looks good, always nice to see a departure from the polished lip look.

How much drop do the GF 210's give you in the rear? In the third picture it barely looks dropped.

EDIT - Nevermind, stock rears are 245/45/18 (I think) which is about 26.7" outer diameter, while your rears are 274/35/18 which is about 25.6" outer diameter. That'll do it!

you can always do the rubber spring mount mod and get another .5 to 1 inch easy in the rear. 18's look great and big enough with a good drop.

+1 on the rear spring mount mod. OP, nice choice of wheels, nice color also. 18s look great in those works.

Thanks for the compliments. I heard with the rear spring mount mod youll get metal to metal contact, thus creating sound. I dont know. Heres another dirty pic of my car.

Good choice in rims, but you seriously need to get some better pictures. And clean your car.

Very nice DB on XD-9 HOTNESS! I'm also in a process of ordering the XD-9 but want 18x10 with 265/35 all around I want FAT LIPS!! What do you guys think of the 18x10 in the front you think it will stick out too much?

Thanks. Not sure how that will look. I like this setup because of the big lip in the rear.
