WOW

Waiting on my MSM, it will look very similar to yours.
What Size tires are you using Front/Rear and what is the offset Front/Rear.

Thank you!!!

Thanks, yeah I quite like them. I have since switched to a 19x9.5" square setup, but keep the narrower fronts to swap out for efficiency on longer drives/road trips.

Currently deployed, but I've got a box of MPP Sport Coilovers sitting in my garage that I will install when I return home, which should make it look even better.

Here's 2 photos from before I left and put the car into storage:

Please advise, (Performance Sleeper) I Want to run square, same setup Front and Rear. I can't drop, my driveway is steep.
I don't Mind range, I commute 10 Miles back and forth and don't use this vehicle for travel.
My first preference is the 265-35R19 Tire and as long as their is no rubbing, I don't mind what offset to use.
The wheels I like don't offer custom offset.

Option 1: Wheels - 19x9.5 +40 Offset with 265-35 R19
Option 2: Wheels - 19x9.5 +40 Offset with 255-40 R19
Option 3: Wheels - 19x9.5 +20 Offset with 265-35 R19
Option 4: Wheels - 19x9.5 +20 Offset with 255-40 R19

Option 5: Wheels - 19x8.5 +32 Offset with 255-40 R19
Option 6: Wheels - 19x8.5 +40 Offset with 255-40 R19
Option 7: Wheels - 19x8.5 +32 Offset with 245-40 R19
Option 8: Wheels - 19x8.5 +40 Offset with 245-40 R19

Thank you all!!!

Not sure if it was already mentioned, but just wanted to get your thoughts on having the 19 inch sport wheels powdercoated like the performance 20inch wheels. I'm personally a fan of the 19inch wheels and when I saw the performance with the gray, I'm thinking about having it done. Any thoughts or if someone has pics of it that would be great!

Not gray powdercoat but I did my OEM 19” Sports in 3 stage Hyper-Black powdercoat:

Ohh wow! I like that color too! Gives me a really good idea! I like how you can still see the lines of the wheels too. Very classy and sporty effect IMO.

Not aftermarket wheels but 20mm spacers front, 25mm spacer rear, blox.
most I've seen are 15mm front and 20mm rear. but I think even at 25mm I am still not flushed. but 25mm is the most I would be comfortable with anyway. I can live with this look for a while until I get new wheels

Drop: Springs or coils? Which ones? Nice and clean...

Should be fine.

how do you like your MPP sport coilovers ride compared to stock and where/how much money did it cost for the install in San Diego?

Love the ride. It's comfortable enough for daily driving and handles great on the track. HG Performance can do it in 3-4 hours at around $135/hr. If you get camber and toe arms, they can then align the car for $225. Great group of people and the GM just picked up a P3D+.

You still need to align the car about coilover install regardless of doing the camber/toe arms right?

It's highly recommended, yes.

It's highly recommended, yes.

How important would you say it is to purchase the camber/toe arms along with the MPP coilovers if I don't plan on really tracking

New wheels installed today.

What tire specs did you go with?

If you lower the car, you increase negative camber and will have worse tire wear unless you can align the car back to a less aggressive spec. The stock suspension is fairly limited in adjustability, so you won't get perfect OEM alignment without aftermarket arms. It's not the worst thing in the world but you may find that your tires are wearing unevenly after a while.

Thank you for that explanation!

What is your Front/Rear offset on the 19x9.5 square setup and what tires are you running Front/Rear?

Thanks for your support. I run two wheel/tire sets since my track tires are essentially semi-slicks and could get dangerous in the rain.

Street setup:
Front: 19x8.5 +35 (245/40/19)
Rear: 19x9.5 +40 (275/35/19)
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (#1 street tire IMO)
Avg: 275Wh/mi

Track setup:
19x9.5 +35 (265/35/19)
Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R
Avg: 300Wh/mi

Also, my Trofeo's are roughly 10-12mm wider tread width than the Michelin's even though they're 265's versus 275's. Competition tires really push the boundaries of performance and aren't really designed be daily driven. Photos of fitment below:

That size difference is very interesting and something to be careful.

Wow... that stance on your last picture looks perfectly balanced.
