WORK EQUIPS (First Gen) - FINALLY!!!
It's been, what, 6 months since I got the wheels and had them sit in my living room? So they're on finally!
Work Equips (1st Generation 1998 models) - Full Machine Polish Face and Barrel (Dunlop Direzza DZ101 - Very MODESTLY stretched!)
F: 19x10.5 +X 245/35R19
R: 19x11.0 +X 275/30R19
Total clearance, no rub, no squeek, no lip hitting, run over potholes with no issues whatever, daily driven from SF so SJ back to SF again 6 days a week! I've proven it works, if I get another set of wheels later, I know for a fact that I will fit 19x11 Fronts and 19x12 Rears without a whim. I have STANCE SUS coilovers and those rears clear the rear true-coilover setup and that slammed ride height (these sizes clear the spring collar that people worry about with the STANCE/Buddyclub Coilover setups)!
P.S. - Stretching tires FTW, say no to fanboys on forums - haha!
Pictures today (sorry for the poor quality, I was using a point-and-shoot camera):

Sick!!! This pic just looks mean.
I have the same exact tire size but on 8.5/9.5 wheels
In the world of JDM "gangsta" fitment and offset how is it "cool" if any part of the rim/tire goes past the fender? Shouldn't the ultimate setup be absolutley flush with the fender lip?

remember, with this poke right now, when I bottom out, the metal lip NEVER, NEVER, EVER touches the fenderwell; your car cambers when you bounce the suspension (thanks to multilink) up and down; if THIS clears bouncing, then this is "flush" and "cool" IMO haha
