KW V3's installed, alignment happening today. For now, I've set rebound and compression neutrally, but will be playing around with the settings in the weeks to come. Gotta thank @Stav at JRP for the KWs.

Wedssport TC105N 17' x 9" +35. Beautiful wheels. I've attached some "fitment" pics for anyone who thinks the +35s will poke. Thanks to Mark at @RavSpec! I'm running Dunlop Direzza ZII in 245/40R17 and they are amazing.

Got my centre caps / hubcentric rings from @kask2_6.0 and they look amazing. No more black holes in the centre of my wheels!

On to the photos...

Thanks!

No rubbing issues whatsoever. At full lock over a bump the tire just kisses the sway bar... just enough to rub off the dirt that caked on to my undercoating.

IIRC, I'm about 1 1/2" lower in the front and 1 3/8" in the rear.

i've been thinking about these wheels too recently.... quick question any loss in steering feel from the change in offset?

i read somewhere that it was best to stay as close to stock offset as possible... but wanted confirmation. i'll rack your brain on a few more things via pm.

lol

Steering feel is better than stock. A big part of that is the stiffer sidewall on the tires... I love them.

Very nice! Wheel/tire setup looks tough!
