Yes sir, staggered. OEM tire sizes too. Got a sweet deal on some brand new Hankook's that I couldn't refuse.

Yours look great! Post new pics when you drop it. How much of a drop are you going for?

I don't know about the drop just yet. I just want my wheels to look as flush as possible. & I had to refinish all four of mine, and painted them as close to OEM as possible because I wanted the clean look. Some people like them in gunmetal... I saw a couple and didn't really like how they looked especially since my car is graphite.

Nice look, those coupe wheels are a huge upgrade over the bland sedan OEMs.

I agree! It feels like these wheels should be the factory sport wheels for the Sedans.

Our cars are almost exactly the same! lol except for yours being an S... I think if I had the S suspension, i probably wouldn't be getting my coils. Just can't stand the gap and the regular journey suspension isn't rigid enough for me. and the adjustable coils are a huge plus considering I'm thinking of getting tires a bit wider, maybe 235 F & 265 R....

How do you like the Hankooks? Seems like a perennial favorite on this forum...

Looks good on those coupe rims. Do the Eibach drop, it will look a 100x better.

I definitely am doing the drop. I already have the springs and everything, just waiting to actually do the drop.

So far so good with the Hankooks, but then again, I've only been driving on them for a couple days? lol.
