Thanks.
I have 19" with m package, they are wider in the back, no need to reduce flares. Does not look as baddass as with 20" that are wider but is ok.
The 19's in the US, unfortunately, are a square set up.
Hmmm...are you sure? I saw offer from dealer all same size for 19"msport, but car with 19" arrived with wider rear (19" m sport wheels)
Yup, I have them. My understanding is that it is regional. No idea why, makes no sense. Ours has 255's all around. Rear IMO should be at least 275's with those fender flares, if not wider.
