One is for comfort. Second is that I have the TPS in there. Anything lower than 35 would give me a high risk on destroying the sensors. For whoever that said they're the "wrong size". How the hell do you define that they're the wrong size? Rick@Status suggested me 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. But I wanted to go 10mm wider.
OE size = 265/35/19
295/30/19 = -.33" difference in diameter
285/35/19 = +.28" diffference in diameter
The point being you never want to go with a bigger than OE sidewall or you get the effect you have now.

I have a similar set up - gloss black le28n's (with polished lip). I'm sitting on stock springs right now waiting for my hotchkis to come in. Same color car - it's gonna look baad *** once you lower it. The rims on my car looks like crap because it's got a huge gap, it will be all goood soon.

Do body shops also repair curb rash?! I just curb my 1 week old WORK Meister S1... OUCH!!!! I was making a slow turn and my right rear tire slipped a bit and hit the curb. It's a little one. I think they can use the standard wash, sand, paste, spray paint, clear coat paint method. Since I'm getting a body kit and get it painted in a month. I'm wondering if the body shops mentioned above also repair curb rash. It's a little curb rash size less than an inch on the lip of the rim. How much would it cost? $100 sounds reasonable?
PS: Will it be able to have the shinny chrome color back?
