no... no rubbing... 19x7.5 with a 45mm offset.. running toyo proxies4 215-45-19.. im probably going to go with a 5mm spacer all around.. they can stand to be pushed out alittle without any rubbing issues..

do you mean 215-45-19, the 45 the thick of the tire???? how did it happen??? i think if you got 19's it should have 35 or something??

im confuse!

it is really not that hard... it took me alittle longer than it might take someone else.. i measured two a three time before i drilled the 3 holes neccessary..... the great thing about the kit is that it is non-distructive.. if you do not like the kit or just want to take it off.. everything you removed will go back and work like nothing ever happened..

well.. 45 keeps the same or really close to the same overall circumfrence which it what you need to keep your speedo from being either too fast or too slow.. and trust me.. 45 as a profile is really low.. there is not much sidewall..... remember.. the sidewall is a percentage of how wide the tire is... so your looking at the sidewall being 45% of 215mm.... now.. at 225.. a 35 would be ok...

also.. just a FYI.. i may not need to say this but just in case... remove the mat from the hood... and then paint what you want to paint on it.. you can probably paint it with the mat on the car.. but it may get messy with paint mist all over the place..

I've been working on a template for doing a SCION graphic in the same place. I'm still not sure if I'm going to do it yet, but I'll fit the template this weekend and maybe go ahead with it if it looks good. I'll be sure to post pics and such if I do.
