Default New wheels on gxp

i lowered my car 1" all around and ordered a set of wheels. ccw 19x11 in rear with 305/30/19 pilot sport ps2 and 19x9 front with pilot sports ps2s also. what do you guys think. i had to cut the inner fender wells, roll the fenders, and relocate a little bracket for the brake lines. i think it was worth it.

I'm gonna be honest with ya... I prefer the stock GXP wheels over those. But the drop is sick.

i kind of agree. i think its because the car is huge so it makes the wheels look smaller.

Sweet!

It's interesting to see higher end wheels on the GXP, IMO they're already freakin' sweet stock and feel lucky not to have to be pressured into changing them out like the GXP guys.

I'm the same red as you so it's cool to see these photos.

Wheels are sweet. And the drop is perfect.

How large of a wheel/tire do you think the GXP can take without rolling the fenders (or anything else other than just putting the new wheels on)?

Ironic that they finally got such a great car now that they are retiring the brand. ...might as well go down swingin'!
