From 10.5x20 295/30 series to 11,5x20 295/25 does not work in Germany because of the rolling circumference of the tires. This tolerance shall not be more than 4%. With the rear 295/25 I would have 4.3%, so only the 305/25 remain.

From this camera angle and lighting, the distinct difference in the door color from both the rear quarter panel and the front fender - directly along the seems of the door - is not the result of angle or lighting. Looks more like the grain of the film is different than the two adjacent panels, and therefore is refracting the light differently... unless of course this was done intentionally from some reason.

Otherwise, really like this unique color!!! Good job.

definitely the most detailed breakdown I've received about the wrap! hahah
I think it may just be the photo, I parked my car in the sun after I read this to see if the color shift had a different pattern and it was the same

What are the OEM offsets on the 20" wheels on a v8s convert? Also isn't the 11.5"width too wide for the 295/30/20 mass tires?

That should look with me then just as with you. Have the exact dimensions as you ordered. The only difference is the tires, here 245/30 and 305/25. I am looking forward to it when everything is installed.
