^^That sounds good!, but you should get a set of 18'' for drift spares so u can keep the 19'' looking clean.

If i had 18s for drift spares theyd have to be meaty tires and not as aggressive cause if not my rear bumper would get destroyed lol....i had to raise my rear up a tad on the 20s just so id stop hitting the rear bumper

Got a small update on my noise situation.

I don't see the piece of metal cutting through the plastic. However, I have identified TWO noises. One of the noises I believe is coming from the plastic hitting the metal above it. I hit the plastic with my hand and it made a pretty loud noise.
I also have a second noise which sounds like its coming from the lower suspension on both sides(closer to the middle of the car). I am almost 100% sure it is from movement of the compression rod bushings. I hear the bearings "pop" almost non-stop. I even heard it pop when I jacked up once side of my car. The only real solution is to probably succumb to the SPL bearings... Unless anyone else has any ideas.

Should have one or two more pics of my car tonight. I got an alignment yesterday, but I couldn't get anymore negative camber in the back because it was bringing the toe out of spec.

ok guys its time for me to get some new tires. i am currently running hankook ventus v12 285/30/19 rear and 265/30/19 front. i am thinking of maybe going to a 35 series tires. do you think that would be too tall or should i be ok. or should i just get what i currently have. oh rim sizes are 19x11+5 front and 19x12+12 rear

there is a little problem though hankook doesnt offer a 265/35/19 but they do offer a 255/35/19 is that gonna be an issue or should i look for a tire that does offer the sizes i want and are the sizes i want even a good option.

Honestly with your ride height Ryan i don't see 35s being a problem. Ive got 20s and Im not even running 30s.

i just got my wheels in today and im having a problem with the fronts rubbing. im running 20x9.5 -5 with 225/35/20 tires. a lot of people that have the same set up said they didnt rub without any fender modifications. but my tires are against the fender. literally. does anybody else have the same problem? will i need to pull my front fenders too? and on my rears, im running 255/35/20. is that good for 20x11 -5?

once you roll and slight pull youll be fine homie. just remember youll get camber'd naturally and you can adjust from there...you should be able to go till at least -5 if you slam the car..

id say roll/do a minor pull.....just let the camber set in and you should be good, do a SLIIIIIIGHT pull on the front as well for that minimal clearance....
