LMR SVE R350 Fitment Issues

[frestylmotox01]

I purchased a set of the SVE R350 Wheels Squared in 19x10 and added Firehawk 285/35/19 tires for it. After getting everything mounted and balanced, I've found that I'm disappointed with the way they look on the car. The wheels and color look great, IMO, but they stick out kind of far in the front and rear and just look weird. I've looked through the other threads with these wheels and they seem like they fit/look better, any suggestions?

Car is all stock PP1 suspension with Steeda Braces/Stop the Hop kit.

P.S. Don't mind the dust, It just came out of storage and needs a bath and yes, the hood is popped in the photos.

Hmm. I think you're right. Something seems off. Why don't you box 'em up and send them to me. I'll toss on mine and check everything out.

I thunk they look great. And love the bronze on that crimson. Really, it looks great. One pic does look odd, but I think just the pic. Looks super sharp.

I think it looks really good and the fitment looks just like my SP2's. Royal Crimson and the bronze compliment each other.

Thanks, I appreciate the nice words. I may just be being overly critical of them, I've seen some great looking S550's on this site and may be expecting to much out of just the wheels.

Thanks, I agree, I think the bronze looks great as well. I may just need to drop the car a little to lose the more noticeable wheel gap that wasn't as present with the taller 40 series PP1 wheel/tire combo.

With a mild suspension drop, it'll all come together. The visual gap between the tire and wheel well combined with the offset is where it's coming from. The lack of camber angle is making them look further out too.

A drop will do a lot to tie it together, I think it's mostly the wheel gap getting to you. I'm going to be running the same size tires and wheels (SP2's) soon and am likely going to lower for the same reason, to close up the gap some.

And the wheel color is an awesome match for your paint!

Agreed with the above. You're a drop away from goodness.

Ordered the springs Wednesday, should be here on Tuesday, I'll hopefully have them installed next week and will update when they are on.

Agreed with the others - a mild drop will make it look perfect.

Looks good, drop it with some springs.

A little tire dressing might help too.

 

[frestylmotox01]

Thanks, I'll do that. It's currently back in storage for a few weeks till spring really shows up, i only took it out to throw the wheels on

Looks great! I love that color. Keep us updated with pics when you lower it.

Got the springs installed this week, pics tomorrow, comes out of the garage for an alignment and oil change.

Agree with Brian. Springs and a little negative camber will pull everything together. The negative camber is important. I had a shop do a crappy alignment and took out too much camber. It looked like crap and was noticeable. My 350R's 11/10 305/35R19 and 295/35P19 Michelin Pilot SS with BMR Minimum lowering springs.
