My new tire & wheel setup

[drabon74]

TSW Bathurst gunmetal, 20 x 10 front on 275-35-20 MT street comp tires, 20 x 11 rears on 305-35-20. Lowering springs by CJ Pony parts.
Special thanks to Paul @ Needforspeed for his patience and giving me sound and accurate guidance. Thanks to American Muscle for the sweet deal on the tires, and Bill @ CJ for the springs. All these vendors provided excellent sales, support, and prompt shipping.
Fronts have 5mm spacers, no rubbing.

That looks horrible, like complete crap. I'll save you the embarrassment and ridicule you will receive by trading you my awesome GTPP wheels and tires and pay you 50% of what you paid. I'm only offering you this because I care.

That looks fantastic man! Sits perfect and looks killer. Very sweet setup! :cheers:

That looks badass. The dark wheels match very well.

Man, those Bathurst's look unreal. Look at how different your car looks from the first picture to the last one. It is like a totally different car.

Great choice on the wheels! Any rubbing or clearance issues? What is your rear offset? +55?

One thing I forgot to mention, my stock foundry wheels & 235-50-18 tires weighed 57.6lbs per, my front setup weigh 53.8 per, rears weigh 61.2 per. So I have a ton more tire and my unsung weight actually dropped a tad. Compared to my non pp suspension, this new setup is DRAMATICALLY better, now it handles like a proper sports car. Ride quality is not as soft as the family car setup of the stock suspension, but by no means harsh. I was really happy with the stance the cjpp springs gave the car. The Mt comps, I really like em so far, they are not a track tire but for a daily driver they are awesome.

No rubbing, 20x11 +55, 20x10 +40 & 5 mm spacers to clear the calipers. Todd, can't wait to see your wheels installed!

Every time I see these wheels, it makes me not think about any other wheels.
