New rims! Finally

With my 21st birthday right around the corner, my parents did me a solid and hooked me up with a set of rims for my 05.
Right now, I'm at stock height. Hopefully will be able to pick up a set of coilovers in the near future, but until then, this is what my set up looks like.




They're ADR M-Classics. 19" all around, 8.5" in the front, 9.5" in the back. +20F and +25R. Should be able to get a few better pictures in the morning.

My point for posting is that I was looking for drop suggestions. Setups, heights, etc. Any advice will be appreciated.

I actually looks awesome. I'm not one for aggressive drops so you may be against it but 1 to 1.25" drop. Get a type-s lip spoiler too ;-).

Agreed. Want ASpec bad. Just got to get the money together. Plus I wanted to do a drop first.

I wanted to get some pictures today, but up here in PA it was super foggy all day long, so it'll have to wait again.

Still about the best I can do. Haven't been able to find my camera, and the weather has been absolute trash. Anyway, here's what I was able to scrounge together. Ignore the dirty car. Road salt

needs a drop to lose Monster Truck status, but you already knew that.

This is why I never take photos in winter (Wisconsin, lol). I feel your pain there.

aspec kit would do wonders. There's just something about the TL that never sat well with me in regards to how it looks with aftermarket wheels and no a-spec kit.

I think those wheels look good by themselves, but definitely priority must be given to a-spec kit and coils.

A good start. May I ask what tire size you're running on the front? (I'm considering 19x8.5 all around.) Thanks

I had 235 but they were pretty worn. I went to 245, but I'd go with 235 if I were you. The 245 rubs, 235 didnt. Had to pull my fender liners just to give it some more room. 235 didnt seem to rub at all at stock height
