Keskin KT1
Front: 16x7.5 ET35 195/45
Rear: 16x9 ET15 215/40
Idk how much they weigh, im guessing pretty heavy.

Tires are Toyo Proxes T1R -- 215/40/16 in the Rear, 195/45/16 in the front. Fronts are bald though and need to be replaced.

Any recommendations on what tires i should get for the fronts? proxes are too expensive. i was thinking falken 512s?

Heres what it looks like on a car thats done right.

Too much rear offset, not "done right".
