Forget those DPE's, you can do way better. You should get those GT-7's in Gloss Black and call it a day!!!! Trust me, i've seen ur car in person. Those SF Challenges are way played out, and the GT-S's are too similar in design.

You're correct on the tire sizes as well.

If you like the stretched look, those are the right sizes. If you don't like the stretched look, go with 255 front and 285 rear. I have 10.5 on the back and even the 285 Nittos were a little stretched.

BTW, I hate 3 spoke wheels.

i havent really seen many sf challenges thats why i wanted those. i was thinking the gt-7s were getting played out. and again, i love the notching on the inside. i guess i like a little flashy here and there.

sorry not getting jasons rims. just not for me.

for the tires, id probably play it safe and go with the 255/285.

not looking for anything too expensive. im still trying to figure out if i can afford the volks.

and no i dont own a civic so im not buying advans.

I've been trying to find a nice tire combination to run 255 and 285's too, but most of the tires I like seem to leave either one or the other tire out.

Are you running the Nitto NT555's? They have an aggressive tread pattern and come in 255 and 285 for 20" wheels, but not for 19" wheels.

The only company I have found so far that has a 255/35/19 and a 285/35/19 is Toyo. Do you know on anyone else that makes both sizes?

The Nitto 20 is a 255/35 and looked like a truck tire on my car. It was a bigger diameter than the rear 285/30.

I swapped the nittos for KDW2's in 255/30 and 255/30/20.

Yo Lyndon, lets all meet up at cruizer's next thursday...(8/31) I know jason's already down...maybe we can get a few more people to meet up? You can look at my setup (same rim size/tire size, etc...) ...it's the exact setup you're looking at..heheh... only you want black...

I have to admit though, I met up with jason last nite to look at his ings body kit, and those DPE wheels are pretty sick... but IMO, if someone bought those wheels, a body kit would be a MUST to get the car's lines closer to the ground, cuz the wheels are huge! (in a good baller way, hehe)

hit me up on the cell....JON.

ps-I know you said it wasn't your style...but i got bored, hehe... here you go..
