Looks nice, I like it! Couple of nice roads in NW Orange by my house and just inside Lake too if you need to break them in ;)

When you find a decent shop in the area, lmk. I've got a nice scrape from the previous owner on the rear bumper that needs to be touched up.

Big fan of this setup! One question, do you feel the 295's causing your car to steer more on uneven roads? How does it compare from a daily driving perspective to stock?

I'm looking to go square either next Summer or later in the year. My dream wheels were HRE FF01's but they are honestly way out of my price range. I was thinking about Forgestar but wasn't a big fan of the design since I prefer the Ace design with less spokes

thanks for the response. I really want a 19 inch squared set up and your set up looks perfect with the drop you have. now I just have to find a wheel the wife approves of. its easier to modify the car when she likes it... lol. I haven't showed her your set up yet

I looked at a ton of designs. This particular one has several takes on it from the different manufacturers. Ace was a good choice for me because they fit without spacers, which was something at the top of my wants. I really liked the P51 wheels, too. In the end I liked this look the best.

There were two things I didn't like about these wheels. One, they have tiny holes as part of the design around the lugs. Pain in the ass during cleaning because they accumulate water. Have to q-tip them. Second was the lug nut holes weren't finished in black like some of the other wheels. Definitely not deal breakers or anything. Just different.

Lightweight, flow forged. Excellent finish. I've gotten a lot of compliments.

Here's my setup, with thanks to Paul@PKAUTODESIGN and PK Auto Designs. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I highly recommend for the knowledge, information, and quick service once you're ready to buy.

295/35-19 Continental ExtremeContact Sport
19x10 Ace Alloy AFF02 Matte Black 35 offset using 72/62 hubring
Weight:
Wheels only: 24.25 lbs per w/cap
Wheels with 295 tires sensor and wheel weights: 53.95 lbs per

Wheels were coated with Chem Guys Carbon Flex

Suspension: Steeda Linear Sport springs & Pro-Action adjustable dampers

Pics were hard to angle just right, but the fit is flush at the top of the wheel well and starts to poke about halfway down. ZERO clearance issues on the front with plenty of room to spare. It was dark, but looks like about an inch from the strut.

These Contis are 10.3" wide according to Tire Rack. Diameter is 27.1" which matches the stock front diameter, but .6 less than the stock rears. Revs per mile are 767.

Pardon the Hurricane Irma mess and try not to make fun of the stab wound on the bumper. I'm researching body shops to find a good one here in Orlando before I let them touch it.

Bringing this back from the dead. I see you were using the Steeda linears, did you have the camber corrected or are these pics with the natural camber after lowering?

Did you, do you, have any strut noises/failures. I have a failed PP1 front strut and one theory from one dealer is it may be the larger tire up front.

I haven't been on site much lately, but yes the alignment was all corrected by Steeda. Added camber plates as well.

Gotcha. Would you happen to know what specs they set it to? I appreciate the reply

Love it

I love square set ups too, and I especially as much rubber up front as possible on front-engined cars. Love those wheels!

I have MRR M350s coming, 19x10 for all corners, but they have a closer in backspacing than your rims. I cannot decide on 285s or 295s.

One question, though I suspect you would have commented, but any rubbing...namely at full lock or compression???

Dinosoar what width and aspect ratio did you go with and how has it worked? MRR sits 5mm closer on 19x10 with 40mm offset oppose to SVE 19x10 with 35mm offset.
