Specs of those wheels?
Thanks! Wheels are VMR V710 Matte black 19x9,5 ET45 with Michelin PSS 255/30/19 tires and 3mm spacers in front.
Those wheels look nice indeed!

i'm looking at work D9R wheels with 19x9.5 +38 and have found that most people on this forum recommend +35 to avoid rubbing, what i wanted to know was whether you have any rubbing issues with your 19x9.5 +45 (+42 with spacers) wheels?

Hi there,

As Kev (Rev555) once said to me: "The trouble with offsets is sometimes they vary between manufacturers..."

I reckon it's better to go with a higher ET and then play around with spacers. At the back it will be fine and you can play with camber, at the front you may need some spacers to clear the strut.

The Work wheels would look very nice on a Roc!

Love this! So much inspiration . Wheels look great, it's nice to see some wide wheels with wide tyres instead of stretched, looks very purposeful.

As the Frozen Grey was starting to fade, it was time for a new wrap. As I like the Grey-Black color scheme, I went with the Dark Matt Grey from 3M.

The license plate holder disappeared as well. The front is way more mean looking now in my opinion!

It started after about 1,5 year on the rear fenders, the hood and the roof. Particularly on the parts that are exposed to rain. It's a common problem with the Hexis wrapping film, the 3M should last longer.

Not tricky at all. Just don't use a pressure washer. No need of waxing or claying, although I use Swissvax Opaque to protect the wrap a little bit more.

Not upgraded the clutch, would like to go with Stage 2+ but don't want to spend that much money for 10-15 hp extra...
