At the end of the day, what really matters is not what the speedo reads but what the police radar thinks your speed is. So drive by one of those electronic speed signs that show what your speed is, compare it to what your speedo says, and drive accordingly.

Great looking wheels! Thanks for the write-up and the pix. I work at the far end of those pictures you took!

Thanks . . After having the wheels and tires for so e time the offset has really grown on me. I saw a V12 Vantage S and honest the offset on even that car was still way off and looked bad. My car had an even more aggressive stance than the V12S.

After seeing that I realized I made the right choice. I would just probably have done Pirelli Corsa tires instead because of the even higher grip at the limit and less tire sidewall (for a better look).

Are you planning on doing anything with the studs and nuts on the rear?
I've got some PSS's on my V2 Sport Pack wheels but cannot seem to get the 305 rear you have
I do like them the softer side wall makes them more comfortable and the compound give them more grip. They are also better in the wet than the OEM RE050's

Just spotted they have a good range of offsets as well
SEMI CONCAVE 19x9.0 offsets from +20 to +55
DEEP CONCAVE 19x11 offsets from +23 to +55
I might have to go down a size to get the available rear PSS tyres on (edit reading your post again that may be a good thing )
DEEP CONCAVE 19x10 offsets from +20 to +44

Like you say AM don't "fill" the arches well, mine also has a 2" gap from tyre to arch and I'm looking at a 3/4 to 1" drop to help that
I'm being drawn to a set of CF14's actually
I wonder if they will ship to the UK?

will your offset and tire size rub if you are lowered on the H&R? (~1" drop)

I'm curious, too. I've got H&R springs and mine sits pretty low. That offset looks like it sticks out just enough to rub in a hard turn. I think if they're tucked in just a touch it'd be fine.
