04 AM Volk GTF 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +24 (Final)

I'd say forget my last thread and the pictures included. Here is what I was waiting for, a real camera.. (even though I still need a tripod

)

Damn dude! You are WIDE on the back. Great car! AM FTMFW! Although I have never seen an AM with that color rim, it looks really good. Nice choice!

Love the staggered look-the gold looks good on the Anthricite. I was surprised too, but it's a nice look.

So i'm thinking you should leave the amber in the lights and black it out. It will blend in nicely with your wheels. I was kinda mediocre about gold on AM but you sir pull it off nicely!

I will be putting it on the rack this wednesday at work, I will let you know then. As far as I know now, front is an additional -1.5 from the drop, rear looks to be about -4 to -5. I didn't have the exact numbers on the initial toe adjustment using the string method. It's just to get me close so I don't scrub my tires bald on my 15 mile drive to work for a final alignment.

Are you rubbing at the back with 255/35/19 tires? Currently I am running 245/35/19 on a 10.5 wheel with 36mm offset. I need new tires and was thinking of putting 255/35/19 at the back but I am afraid it won't clear since I am lowered about 2inches.

Hmmm... no rubbing issues in the front? I'm running a 19x9 +24 w/ 225/35/19 tires and I was rubbing a lot. My front camber is at -2. Also, maxxed out on my SS coilovers.

ed99, since hes running -4 to -5 rear camber, there will be no rubbing. I'm running a 19x10 +29 w/ 235/35/19 tires @ -2 camber and I don't rub. I'd really want to run a wider tire though... give me some piece of mind.

Kudos for the aggressive fitment though. Can you go any lower on your coilovers?

Thank bro! Yeah hit me up when there are meets coming up. It seems like every time I look for meets there are none, then I come across pictures from ones I miss.

I do still rub in the front. My SS's have about 10 threads showing, my front camer joints are maxed out also. I can go lower in the rear, not front unless I want rub city. It's able to have 4 people and not rub much with my edfc set at 16 front and rear.

Damn 10 threads?? Haha I have zero. No front camber kit either. Alright good to know, thanks.

ed99, whats the offset on your rear wheel? I'm think about either a 245/35/19 tire or keep my current setup and run a 10mm spacer.

That stances looks perfect the way it sits.. are those spc camber kit adjustable? i'm also looking to do a setup like this but with a 19x9 +22 front and 19x10 +22 in the rear.. i was trying to see what all i need to make it happen.
