Default New wheels on the car!

Eric at Hybrid Performance (vendor on here) really took care of me. No one else could find this exact setup, and the price was really really good. Center caps will be on in about a week.
GT-C's
19x9.5 21mm front
19x10.5 24mm rear

looks you have some major negative camber action going in the rear, might wanna get it re-alinged as much as possible before the inner wear gets too bad. other then that, looks fantastic, always have loved GT-C's

I really like those GTC's, looks good but like stated, get some of your camber back. Otherwise it wears really fast...plus you'll get more acceleration.

Thanks guys. I didn't think the camber was that off since they were able to get my front back into spec. I'll have to have it looked at.

Tein?
I thought they only lowered the car .8 and it would not need a camber cuz I thought once a shop aligns close to spec the wear or ware on the tires should be ok?
Correct me if I'm wrong

I think they can lower the car 1" in the rear, but i thought that wasnt a make or break drop. It isnt all the way down in the rear. I am about .25" fron the lowest setting.

245/35/19 275/35/19 no rubbing. I am going to go with 255/285 when these are gone so i may have to roll the fenders.

255/285 still be fine since the offset of GT-C is not that extreme. I had GT-C before and drop more than 1". No problem.

I have the same wheels but no center caps yet...I don't understand why the center caps are sold separately and why there seems to be a shortage!
