Very nice. Where’d you get your side skirts and front splitter if you don’t mind me asking?

 

I recently got these wheels and tires brand new for a fraction of the tires worth alone and just threw them on. The wheels are 19x9.5 +22 wrapped in Continental DWS06+ 245/45 275/40 R19. The fronts did not clear BBK, 5mm hubcentric spacers and rings were needed and added to both the front and rears. I also installed BC Racing BR Coilovers and Whiteline adjustable end links. Dampening settings are both 15 from hard at the moment. The tires rub a little when going over decent size bumps and when taking sharp turns too fast at full lock, mostly on the rears. The fronts also look like they’re slightly toe-in. My adjustable SPL FUCA’s & Rear Billet Camber Arms and bolts were also delivered today. I bought the SPL arms and received lockout & bucket eccentric bolts and an additional Brake Master Cylinder Brace thrown in the deal. Do I need anything else in order to get an alignment?.. and am I good to drive the car meanwhile? Car drives nice, the grip is great and ride is smooth aside from the occasional rubbing. I may have a potential buyer for the tires. If I do sale what size(s) would y’all recommend for this setup? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

Looks kind of silly, IMO. But your car, your choices. Props for experimenting.

Does it hook up any better?

 

Haha I agree. It’s been bothering me. I’m having 245/40/19 squared or 245/40-275/35 19 installed tomorrow, and have a buyer lined up for this set. (Mustang owner) Any suggestions on a tire brand? It definitely hooked up better.

 

I've got only limited experience with tires. Ran a number of sets of Michelin PSS for years, but the cost was killing me, so for the last few sets I've gone with the Continental Extreme Contact Sport. Reviews and ratings a few years ago put it on par with the old PSS, but without the premium pricing. These kind of decisions really depend on what you do with the car and what you expect out of tires.

I've been into 3-season tires for the last 20 years... 8 months of summers, 4 months of snow tires. All I really want is to maximize grip with a reasonably priced street tire, one that will last 15k+ miles. Based on that, I've been happy with the Contis.

 

Are your wheels 19x9.5 or 19x10? Wondering why you are going with 245's instead of something a little wider. I am running 255/40 on 19x10.5 squared so wider does fit

 

They’re 19x9.5 +22 squared, but I have 5mm spacer’s on. What would you recommend going with?

 

245/40/19 squared.

 

Ow, you're hurting my neck.

 

I apologize. lol

 

The tighter sidewall in the rear looks better, IMO.

Now clean and dress those tires. Man if I had a black car, that would be an obsession.

 

Thanks man, yeah it definitely looks better. Just need to install the SPL FUCAs rear camber arms and have it aligned now. I want to replace the sway bars as well. In doing so after having it aligned, could they throw off the alignment?

Yessir! That’s the first thing I did after having them installed. I was actually going into oreilly’s after leaving the shop when I took this. They were filthy!. Whatever that stuff was it was hard to get off especially right behind the lip. They’re clean and dressed now though.🫡👌🏽

 

Assuming you're talking the white stuff, that's tire mounting compound. Lubricates the tire/rim to make it easier to get the tire on and can help the bead seat.

 

Swaybar install won't affect your alignment.

 

Yeah the white stuff, I figured it was some sort of lubricating mounting compound. Thanks for letting me know though.
