Very nice! did you have to also tub the car to get the 19x14 and 355 to fit? My 13s" w/345s don't leave much room.

No tub. I had my rims widened...backspacing is 207mm or 8.15” which would make the offset +1.15” or 29.21mm on a 14” wide rim.

fender= $899+shipping new L5's but you can keep an eye out for a used set like I did...paid $750 already painted
paint= around 6-800 in my area
install= self install...not that difficult.
Wheel widening: $1300 total included 2 new 2 piece barrels, machining, assembly, tire mounting and balance, and shipping.
2 rear tires= Pirelli P Zero 355/25r19 $1154 on "that auction site"
total= about $3200 minus paint on the low end

I'm not sure how you got that to work. I've got a 13" wide wheel with 8.75" backspacing and it sits completely flush with the flared TPE fenders.

Maybe I measured wrong? My rim doesn't sit flush with the flares.
