I have them with 235/40/18 tires and drive VERY aggressive with no rubbing and the lip is nicely protected. I'll post pictures this weekend.

I don't think anyone yet. You have to be careful though. If you plan on doing that big of a wheel, your sidewall profile might be really small.

Of course a lot depends on the offset of the wheel, I think you should try to shoot for 45mm as close as possible for the least amount of problems.

19x8 40mm offset 225/35-19 (Dropped on HFP springs .5" drop or Tein SS 2.25" Drop)

This setup works with a 2.25 drop which is more than the skunk springs.

What wheels are on your car do you have a bigger picture so I can see a little clearer I'm trying to decide if I want 19's or 18's. I already have the skunk2 springs

Ryry,, I dont think you have a 2.25" drop. Mine is 2"... (Basics all the way down, which is the same as SS all the way down.)

Don't worry about my wheels.
The basics are perfect for a DD. If you're gonna track and/or race and need to change your dampening levels, then by all means get the SS.

I'm thinking either one of these, but mainly the ^ DC6V1's ^ IMO.

yeah the DC5's aren't nice.. I'd say if you only wanted one of these two, definitely the DC6's

I don't think so ^. But i'd like to be the first. I like those DC-6's. Something about those thick 6 spoke wheels. I'm shooting to getting these on my FG2 with a nice Tein drop and some other RED accent pieces on my Si to match the red lugs and red lip on these rims. it's gonna look nasty!.

Oh I know I was saying that the wheel i listed was on a car with a lower drop than the skunks. :) I know the skunks dont drop more than 2" It's the same as the sportlines except for the rear.
