Default SS with DB sf_challenge ***PICS***

So here's a couple of quick pics with my Db Sf challenges, 19x9.5 front and 10.5 rear. Tires are BFG KDW 255/35 285/35. And yes I had to get my fenders cut. Props to chris at F1 motorsports as well as DTD. Let me know what ya think..

i dont think so. just enough drop so you it has a good look and dont have to worry about scraping all time or worry about camber.

copy cat :P

Just kidding.

Nice choice of course IMO The SF challenge should've been a factory option, they just look that good.

Looks great man, sorry for bumpin an old thread, is your alignment in spec? Any pics of the car from the rear? Can't tell... but looks like your tires dont stick out at all with the rear +21 offset.

Nice! I have the same setup on tires, and springs, and the rims are the same width, I didnt have to cut the fenders, but my driver side would rub sometimes when pulling into driveways, I yanked my wheel off and took a rubber mallet to that *****, it learned its lesson lol...
