Got the wheels mounted yesterday. I'm happier than all outdoors just to see the car sitting on the ground now. I measured everything on my own and did it, literally 9-10 times. No lie!! I even bought different new tires and kept checking fitment. I was so nervous and afraid to turn in the numbers I had measured to HRE. They kept emailing me for my backspacing numbers, as I had already put down 50% deposit and I kept procrastinating. I'd buy different size tires from Discount Tire and return them, which is doable just so long as you don't mount them. I told the guys there what I was doing and they were happy to help. So, after checking my numbers a million times on several different tires I went off of hope and ordered the wheels. I was still worried, because the worst thing you want is to order super expensive wheels, only to get them after waiting and they don't fit. So, I was super excited to receive the wheels. After getting them mounted and balanced on the tires, the moment of truth came...."Ohh s#!t, I hope these wheels fit!" Low and behold, every thing was perfect. I probably could've added an extra .25" on the rear, but other than that, they're perfect. Tires are mismatch, cuz once I get the car running, I plan to have a tad bit of fun hopefully and burn a little rubber. I have a brand new set of Michelin Pilot Sports to mount afterwards. Now, that wheels are finally on and the car on the ground I can get the exhaust done and get it wired and start the car soon.

Wheel specs are:
*19x10-275/30/19
*19x13-345/30/19
