New shoes!!!
So I got my new rims and tires on yesterday. After what seemed like an eternity I was able to pull everything together. I want to thank egreenmachine for his part in this (he bought my old rims and tires).
So here they are: Privat Netz 19x8 with 40mm off set. Tires are Exclaim UHP 235/35/19
Yes, I know they look a lot like my old rims, but I wanted to go with a better wheel.
I did have to use wheel spacers otherwise the large front brake calipers hit, I ended up using a 6mm spacer on all 4 wheels just so they would be the same.
I have only had the combo on for one day but so far I can say I like the feel of these tires even better than the last ones. Over on tirerack these have a real good rating.
I would however mention please DO NOT USE MAVIS DISCOUNT TIRE!
What a joke these guys were. They did not install my spacers and didnt even check to see if the rim cleared (it didnt) and they scratched my driver side door bur insisted that there was no way they could possibly have done it (magic they have I guess).
I left their shop and went over to OPAK Motoring in Plainview NY. where George and Lou were awesome. They stayed late and made sure everything was in good shape for me!

Hey Jason they look great man. Nice work - sucks about the door for sure.
I use this place Epic Auto Care in Jersey City - awesome crew, totally immaculate garage, and surprisingly great service. No I don't promote for them... They were a TireRack recommended installer and found them by chance. Great Find!
