My own tire poke thread :)
The wheels are 19x8.5+32 all around
wrapped up in 225 series tires (falken F452)
They poke out of the rear fenders just under an inch, so i guess it gives the illusion that it is sitting higher than it really is lol (1 finger gap all around)
Here it sits at the bodyshop in order to undergo a few body mods (and repair collision damage) to get 'em to fit and look good
(and yes it will be lowered)
Hopefully Shinybluecls will have the time to come in and post the remainder of the pictures he took as well as my rental car =p
keep in mind, alignment has not been done and i was rubbing the whole way from the tire shop to the body shop lol

shaving the fender is actually safter than rolling them. trust me, I've done both. By shaving, you actually save the risk of chipping the paint and making the body wavy in that area.
TWS, Status Auto, Backyard Creations, they'll all tell you the same thing, it's better to shave than to roll. Edumacate yourself.

I love LMs too. Nice pick up.
Only thing I don't like about big wheels is that it really makes the wheel not appear centered in the rear wheel well. Looks like its pushed back towards the bumper with a bigger gap ahead of it. It looks like lowering the car causes the wheel to be moved back though.
Hope to see pics of slammage soon!
