Those wheels look great, go so well w/ your Blue Slate. Probably going to settle a bit more for a nice drop, one that should be easy to live with.
Do you think 295s would have fit in there?

You know I still need to get an alignment and I really didn't look. I know I could've went a bit more aggressive on the front offsets and the 245's look a little small. Maybe a 19x9.0 or 8.5 with the 245's.

Looks great, Rob!

I'm curious to see if it'll settle on OEM dampers. It never did on mine, the drop height on day one is the same to this day (on GR-2's.)

Thanks Mike. I'm curious as well. Think I'm going to wait a good week or so before an alignment.

I think 295's would fit without issues. And I definitely need a 255 up front.

Another quick driveway pic since the sun is out.

Look very high quality

I did. Same time with the springs. I need to play with the rear setting. Noticed tonight it's under steering at higher speeds.

the drop and wheel fitment are pretty much perfect to me (specs duly noted). Im a little surprised +45 sits flush to the fender (rear), I suppose the width helps in that dept?
