Default new staggered wheels

So since wheel selection sucks for s types I took advice from exepat and got 20mm wheel adapters to 5x112 and picked up some staggered 19x8.5 +32 19x9.5 +40 . Need to slam it, its too high too much wheel gap

Sexy wheels and sexy car! If I could throw in a suggestion for you - paint the chrome trim on the bumbers to match the color of the car, and also paint the grill surround to match the color of the car, and then paint the grill insert to match the black color of the wheels, then your car will be too cool for school! But even if you dont, it looks too cool for school anyway! Great job! Make sure the wheels are not poking out from either improper offset or adaptors before you lower car, otherwise they may strike fenders.

No way to adjust the camber in the rear unless you do something custom. I tried

Not a fan of tinted lights and wheels will be powder coated hyper silver. Got them black because they were cheap deal locally

What size tyres are you running, cause they look too small. Especially at the rear...

No wonder it looks like that. Get some proper boots on it ASAP...

BTW "that" is a nice alternative to some other words that spring to mind.

Looking good.
Bad thing I was hoping that 112's would fit without adapters

Why go to all the trouble of changing wheels, spacers, etc, to put narrower tyres than stock on the car???
