That looks super clean brother. Yeah I'm a big fan of 35 to 40 for the offset. Nice and flush with the fenders.
In unfrozen watery FL (vs Tx) flush is something you can do with a toilet or fitment, 255/35-19 on 9.5” ET41 and Eib’Pro.

Went to go visit my car tonight at the storage facility. Haven't seen it for nearly 1 month now. Let it run for 15 minutes while dreaming about the day I might finally get to drive it. Installed my CupHolderHero inserts and tire valve caps. Just a couple of small additions while I wait to bring the car home.

Valve caps look nice; hope they're not aluminum or metal.

I would assume that the metals would corrode and be difficult to remove from the valve stem. I believe they do sell some that are anti-rust or anti-corrosion.

I believe they are aluminium caps so corrosion could be a concern I guess. I'll put a dab of anti seize on them. I've had similar caps on previous cars and never had any issues. Something I honestly didn't even consider. Thanks for the heads up.

How do you get into the Caddy? Passenger side? Or pull the civic out first?
I pull the R out. The V doesn’t get driven much if at all during winter, so it just stays on the charger (battery is in the trunk).

Mine are ‘aluminium’ but have an O-ring at deepest part of cap. Why is this or metal so bad sir?

Because they will corrode to the valve stem. I had to replace a stem this year on my fiances winter wheels cause of this even though I remember putting anti-seize on the stupid things.

And it's funny how few you can find with the plastic threaded inserts! I imagine the higher end ones have them but I was looking to spend about $5-$10 when I purchased a set.

Aluminum corrodes?

Sure, any type of steel or iron, but aluminum oxidizes to a self-protective fil in most cases.
