Springs and wheels done finally! Steeda lowering springs + Velgen VF10 wheels

I will get better photos after I get the car washed but I installed my Steeda Progressive Lowering springs yesterday and got my Velgen VF10 Gloss blacks mounted just a little while ago and boy oh boy does it look fantastic! Running 20x10 285/35R20 in the front and 20x11 305/30R20 in the rear!

Looks great! I have a question about tire sizing. Why do some run different sidewall heights between front and rear? Is it simply to retain similar dimensions to stock? I feel like it would drive me nuts seeing two different side wall heights.

Looks good. Any rubbing in the front at all? Even at full turn? I’m running stock 255/40/19 with 25mm spacers and at full lock I have a finger width of room between the fender liner and tire. debating about 265/35/20 or 275/35/20 but don’t want to rub on turns. Also do u have magneride or no?

Nice. I have the same springs installed and I should be installing my new velgen vf5 wheels in a couple hours. such a nice setup will update in a bit

It's a PP1 car, the OP probably wants to stay as close to OEM diameter.

The progressive gives these a nice drop, for sure.

Wow, congratulations that is super good looking car. What a big difference. I think I already know what I’m gonna buy next VF 10 gloss black that thing is on fire. Congratulations.. I think I’m in love that car.

Running steeda sport progressive springs, steeda shocks & struts, 1" and 1.25" steeda spacers , and some other goodies on my 24 GT Premium. To get the same look without the spacers, what size wheels and tires should I be looking for?
Going black to match the car if anyone wants to share their favorites.

No rubbing at full turn in either direction, no magnaride.

remeber the side was is a ratio to the width of the tire. For example my new tires are 285/35/19 and the rear 325/30/19. Even tho the side wall is diff ratio, because of the tire size it ends up making it around the same size and you wouldn’t be able to tell a different by just looking. I’m pretty sure there’s a website you can test diff side walls and it shows you the difference.

I have noticed that I'm getting some rubbing on the driver's side front when cornering where the weight is mostly on that side, sounds like tire hitting the wheel well, I can't see any rubbing on the painted edge if the wheel well or damage to the tire, going to get the alignment done Wednesday and will see if it persists. No rubbing on the passenger side when cornering on it, is this something you guys have heard of @Steeda Tech JohnC? I'm not super concerned seeing as how the car is pretty low and the wheel well is filled with a fingers gap between tire and fender, but wasn't sure if it's something uncommon.

They are not quite the same diameter. A 285/35/19 is 26.9", while a 325/30/19 is 26.7.

Yes I know I mentioned it was like “around” the same. It’s such a minimal difference it’s impossible to notice. But you are right it is different.

this is the update. got the velgen vf5 put on today with hankook ventus v12 evo 2 tires. wheels are 19” and tire size is 285/35/19 and 325/30/19. so far i’ve driven about 30 miles and feels great compared to stock. you can feel the numb steering come to life a little bit more. overall super happy with the setup. car still looks a bit high but the springs needs to finish setting.
