    Nice! More pics of your ride height as well would be helpful. I am looking to get some 19s in there snug as well and I need to decide on tire and offset combo.

    You think that is flush?


    Here is the rear! Note that this is under maybe double or more of the load than on flat ground. (4%+ incline and much of the weight shifted to this side). I think resting height is about an inch higher. I have some adjustments to do to reduce likelyhood of touching under extremes.

    Specs:
    Work Wheels: VS-XX 3 piece / Step Rim
    19x8.5 +28 (R-Disk)
    19x10 +51 (A-Disk)
    Color: Gold
    Barrel: Polished
    Hardware: Gold
    Estimated time: 12-16 weeks from date of order. Actual was 14 weeks and 1 day.

    Michellin Pilot Sport 4
    225 / 35 r19
    265 / 35 r19

    Notes:
    There seems to be 18-22mm of clearance from the brake caliper in the back. That means a different disk type or a bit more barrel could have happened assuming they have the right combo.

    Maintaining the correct ride height (stock to no more than .75" lower where I am at approx) shouldn't result in fender hit unless it was some sort of huge break your back kind of bump (or jump). I could also tweak the inner fender lip a bit if it was really bad. I could also trim 5mm off the hub (not going to do that) and the inner has clearance. So far no issues but I'll be making some adjustments just in case.

    I know others running about .75 - 1" lower with the same specs without issue but I don't know their camber, different brand tires have slight variances, they may have tweaked their inner fender lip, etc.

    I looked into these wheels a year ago and they said they did not have the 355 bolt pattern. Meister was the syle wheels that had the correct pattern. Did they custom make the centers for you?

    Not a tease, only took a few picks then it w
    No already have plans for Sunday but will be at RTC Italian day on Saturday.

    as dark. Saturday

    They have the Ferrari pattern, they have done at least 2 other sets over the last few years. I'd call a different vendor. I worked with James at Vivid and he was awesome.

    Today. Overcast. Not a great pic. Best I can do til Saturday.

    tires and fender are closer as black doesn't show the fender lip (flat spot) right before bending inward.

    Trying to figure out the center caps. The factory caps are too small for the new rims. I agree, some sort of Cavalino but I am working on something else right now.

    So what I can say is this is the cap for my car and I can't find any dimensions online. I also forgot to measure them. The edge to edge mounted and measured with the cap in the wheel is 62mm. I'll probably need to pull a wheel and measure the cap I assume.

    Where did you get your 62mm ones from?
