You don't have to explain yourself, its your car, and I think most of us will agree that it looks great. Since you're running Falken 452 225/35/19's, just keep an eye out for their known inner sidewall separation. They have a lower load rating than other brand 225/35/19's.

yea i been very careful on big bumps and pop holes on the road to avoid the sidewall separation, im running 215/35 in the fronts and i hear those have even a lower load rating..

as to whats next, roll the front fenders so i can lower it, then cut the rear panel so i can run a spacer and get a lil poke or clean flush... and just finish up the audio system... pretty much it, i just wanna keep this car plain and simple...

im from south sacramento...

the ride is pretty good.. not bouncy, you can feel the road a lil more due to the strectch and low profile tires.. not enough tire to absorb everything...

as for specs.. front 8.5 29+ et.. 215/35/19 rear 9.5 29+ et 225/35/19 falkin 452..

yea imma cut the rears and add a fat spacer to get a lil poke...

no more upgrads, time to start saving money..

I had that very same wheel size and tire specs in the past for my 1st set of Work DH's, just different offsets. I ended up going through both 215/35/19's and then moved my rear 225/35/19's up front and even with 0 camber dialed in, they all had sidewall separation due too low load rating, I think the V8 motors are just too heavy for Falken FK452's smaller than 235/35/19. So many debates in the past on these forums about them. Just definitely be careful to avoid any bumps possible, and what sucks is that the sidewall separation isn't instant, it can happen from a minor bump hit hours before. Overall again, looks good! :biggthumpup:
