New 19" Summer Wheels... now with STEP LIP action!! (and M3 parts) (resized pics!)

1speedbike · 03-30-2012, 06:28 PM

*Fixed the pictures! Sorry, guys! That was obnoxious, but it was all done from my phone, and they resized fine in my phone browser!

I got some M3 control arms around Christmas time (then sold them and then bought more lol), and the M3 anti sway bar from Scott135i when he parted out last fall. Also just installed these bad boys thanks to AutoCouture!

Rubbed horribly at first until I brought the car back and they raised it a little and added some negative camber (all on stock equipment, no spacers or camber plates). Told them to do that to start with and they didn't... But they fixed it in the end. Now I'm at around 2 degrees negative camber all around, still dropped but not as crazy, and no rubbing at all! A little effort to get them to fit right, but completely worth it. So far I'm loving this setup

Wheels are Miro STP3

F: 19" x 8.5" ET 35
R: 19" x 9.5" ET 45

Tires are Yoko S.drives

These are just iPhone pics but they came out pretty good. Enjoy!

Yup! Vents are closed but are separate inserts held in by little screws, so you can take them out. Then I just gotta fashion some sort of slotted system to fit in there otherwise it's open holes lol. I have a bunch of shots at home I'll post them later when I resize the pics! For now my front bumper is scraped/cracked so that's why I didn't take any earlier today. And thank you!

Toooooo Much stretch on those tires. for the 9.5 rim... makes the car look it has a pair of shoes that do not fit right...I also have 9.5 wide rear rims and no stretch, but then again i am not lowered...

1speedbike · 03-30-2012, 07:59 PM

^ Everyone's entitled to their own opinion

But to me that's barely stretched at all. This is real stretch (and still not even the "worst" I've seen!):

But either way, I would honestly enjoy a fatter tire in back. Bought these as a wheel and tire set so maybe when I wear down the yokos I'll raise a little and put some fatter rubber back there. We shall see

Indeed^^^^^^^^^ BIZARRE...I have made it a point not to post any negative input on folks threads.....i quess i slipped a little....Just a wee bit sensitive to how tires should fit..I struggled for a bit before putting on my tires on the 9.5" rim 255/30/19 AD08's but they do run wide like a 265....and i still have some minor issues with rubbing on the fender liner on dips...what it iz it iz....

Looked fine on my iPhone too, which is why I didn't realize they were HUGE until everyone pointed it out! Oops!

Don't worry about it, I don't take it negatively at all. Everyone has different tastes. I'd say my taste isn't as crazy as some of the west coast guys, but on the east coast people are a lot more subdued.

That's probably the size tire I'd want ideally for this, but in a tire that doesn't run wide. I'd really have to raise the rear or get camber plates for that to work though. Right now its 235/30 in back which is two sizes down. Maybe a 245 would look better? As it is now, it's not terrible in my eyes though. On some cars you can see the tire stretched inwards, whereas with me, yes its pulled back a bit from the lip of the rim, but at least the sidewall is more or less vertical. I wouldn't feel safe if it was completely stretched back!

BTW, are you in NJ? I feel like I recall you saying that somewhere on the forums. Are you in the Tri-State 1addicts group on facebook? I feel like I'm pretty good remembering who is who in terms of faces to usernames, but suck at remembering usernames to faces. Hard to explain hah. You should join if you're not already a part!
