Test fitting my new wheels

My new wheels got here this morning still some test fitting that needs to get done. Trying to figure out what size tires to rock and need to repaint them but IMO they look sick!

If they're sick, rub them with garlic, it's antiviral and antibacterial!
Nice wheels BTW

They are 19x10 et20 19x8.5 et20 + 20mm spacer. I am thinking about redoing them the darker silver my stock 9 spoke aluminum wheels are.

Looks nice. They are brand new? Why did you get such weak sizing? Unless this is the only size they offer. The rears are probably fine you could have done way better on fronts though

No they are used and BBS doesnt offer them in any other sizes nor our bolt pattern. I may try and pick up another set of rears if I can find anyone selling them. I got them for a steal and figured they would be something different. The rear is perfect IMO the front is definitely small for my taste but now that its at a et0 in the front it looked pretty flush.

I was about to say, how the hell did you get CH-R's in 5x114.3?!

You got a 5x120-->5x114 adapter?

Oh damn, okay. Be safe with that! Haven't heard too much about redrilling, but I'm sure if it's done correctly, it shouldn't be a problem.

As long is its done professionaly and doesnt have additional holes drilled there is nothing wrong with it. I know everyone in the g community is afraid of stuff like that but alot of people get it done.

I trust that's the case. I'm more into the DIY stuff too, so I get it.
