Those V's look great! I am not sure if it is my eyes deceiving me or the way the picture is taken, but the V in the middle looks tiny compared to the other two, none the less great pics. Share some more if you have them!

i'd like to not have to afford ADV1s at the current time. i'm hoping to go with something i feel comfortable with being able to fit (20s) and then going bigger one more time with another set of wheels in the future (probably 3 piece this time) once i figure out personally what i can/cannot do and what i feel comfortable with.

i still will be daily driving the car for quite some time so there's that, too.

Want to run 20's and are lowered...good luck. It would definitely look awesome to see them tucked in there. I had minor rubbing issues when I ran 20's and I was at the stock height, keep us updated with what you accomplish.

moving the fenders out of my way is no problem. moving the body and frame out of the way is so i have to make sure i don't get too aggressive to the inside.

i'm thinking about running the same specs as the forgestars (19x9/10 +40/42mm), but running a set of 20s instead. it's a fairly safe bet that with some 245/275 tires on it that i'd be fine.

Just got my new-to-me Stealth Gray 05 in on July 3rd, delivered to me from a dealer in CO. 68k miles, all stock. The paint needs some love as do the headlights and wheels, but nothing you wouldn't expect on a car with 68k miles on it I guess. I'll be buffing the paint myself, and will work on the headlights and wheels over the winter, probably have the wheels refinished to factory specs professionally. I love the bright silver finish the factory gave them, I'd love to have it 100% back.

19 x10 sp600 s iffrc 42 offset
I also have creative steel wide trailing arms, as they rubbed the factory arms
I have rolled the 1/4s as well slightly and done a aggressive negative camber alignment
Still have very slight rub but good enough

ah, so you got the same specs as the forgestar f14s, nice. i think i'm sticking with a 20x9/10 for this set of wheels so i can get a feel for it and plan on going bigger the next time.

I like the look of your car you say you rub a little but I'd like to know how hard you drive your car I'd like to lower my car too but still want to be able to drive it in corners and the route you went I'd think would be the most affordable

Pm replied, but yea it rubs a bit still
Be advised h&r springs drop a bit more than advertised , good stance but if u are going for a big wheel set up be prepared to get a roller for the 1/4s and trailing arms
