While waiting for Swift Springs to arrive and (gently) drop the car, here it is all cleaned up for a car meet next week.

VOSSEN CVT, 19" staggered, with Michelin PSS.

19 x 8.5 +32, 245/40ZR19
19 x 10 +42, 275/35ZR19

The rears poke 1/2", so I'm hoping them come in with a drop. The fronts are flush, so after they pull in I'll put 3mm spacers on the front. Which is good, because I only have 3mm clearance with the BBK as it is.

I run V12s with this setup and have no issues. Check out my pics in the last page back

I currently have 255/30 in the back and the wheels are taking a beating from the rocks all around the lips. I want to get the wheels powdercoated and avoid the issue of chipping by putting a thicker tire.

Beautiful car! In my opinion, the CV1 looked better on your car, with the 2011 sport bumper it would look sharper. You should get the IPL sides with that bumper, to give it that extra oomphffff That's that I'm rocking, looks great.

These 19" CVT's look much better now when dropped on Swift Springs. It pulled the 10" rears in so they don't poke so embarrassingly like they did just a few weeks ago, as posted above. It's a nice, even drop, and still totally drive-able like a DD should be.

thanks man!! the first set was the cv3's not 1's, and trust me, i still miss my 3's ( diego). definitely been on the fence about putting the ipl sides with my bumper, any way you could message me some photos of how it looks with the 2011+ sport bumper so i can get an idea. thanks man!

That's a good problem to have, lol. I think all 3 finishes would look good on a black coupe. Silver will give you the best contrast, IMO. Good luck.

I think I will go with the Matte Graphite now I have tires for the front Good Year 245-40-19 so I will get the 19X8.5 and my question is what specs do I need for the 19X10? would 275-35-19 be worry free?
