I know, everybody. You're jealous of my photography skills. I chalk it up to great genetics and sausage fingers.

I spent some time at the local Subaru tuner shop which explains the sea of them in the background.

Got some early morning shots to show the wheels in different lighting. Also, a rear shot.

For those of you interested in alternate finishes in our SM-10 design, head over to our finish survey thread to provide feedback on what you'd like to see next in the SM-10 lineup!

Seems tire stock is running a little low on your website. Would a 255/35/19 front and 295/35/19 rear work for the 19in staggered setup?

Yep, sourcing tires from Michelin and other distributors has been tough for us recently. We are working to get them back in stock, but I don't have a good eta for 265/35-19s or 275/30-19s at the moment.

255 front and 295 rear can work, but it will encourage a bit more understeer at the limits of grip. This may not be an issue if this is purely a street set but its something to consider if the car will see the track on these tires.

In the rear, 295/35-19s can work but another option is 295/30-19s. This is a slightly shorter sidewall than the stock 275/35-19s but it will keep the overall difference in rolling diameter between the front and rear axles a bit lower. Either setup can work and neither should cause an issue with your stability or traction control systems.

Hmm may just end up going with oem sizes since they are in stock and then go wider when it's time to replace.

That also works! We have several customers who've used their OE tires on the staggered setup with great results. If you are ordering a wheel and tire package it's a good idea to order TPMS sensors from us as well as the tires will come mounted and balanced already.

I reused my OEM tires and I think they look great. Happy to take some pics when the weather improves if that would be helpful. I might even stick with those sizes whenever my tires are worn. Depends on what's available, as I'd prefer something like a Cup2, SC3R, or PZC4.

Ended up placing an order for some bronze sm-10's with OEM stagger. Haven't seen them on a nocturnal supra yet so pretty excited.

A couple indicative pictures. They tend to exaggerate the amount of stretch compared to in-person. It’s pretty similar to how they looked on the OEM wheels. Certainly not enough to make me chuck tires with 3000 miles on them.

Is that stock suspension?

Good eye--no. The car is on H&R springs.
