Wheel Setup
 

Whats up guys...quick question. What do you think is the best tire and wheel setup? Also, what is the widest you can go on the back tires?...thanks

949racing 6ulr's with toyo Ra1's stretched

I'm honestly in love with my wheel setup... DRIV/Niche GT 19x8.5 34 with 255/30zr19
it is the widest you can go without stretching ( I hate stretched tires, ugly, uneven wear and not safe)

ya i have to agree with guiguilandry stretched tires look like shit and are not safe. i have quantum tek 18 inch rims with 235/40/18 and i like them. but you have to get rims that you like. what is your price range for rims and tires.

This would've looked kinda cool if I kept with that route:

JLw7123 - no price range, just going for the best look/ride
[ion] C2 - sick wheels, i want to get some just like those if not close and go with red lug nuts. What are the name of those?

guiguilandry - do you have that setup for the front and back or just the back?

Those wheels are hard to find.

WedsSport TC-005
or
RSL Ikari (the copy of the design)

well the TSW Nurburgring look similar to them

front and back.. it is also the widest you can go in front too without rubbing when dropped 3,25'' like that (keep in mind that i don't have lot of suspension travel, du to the stiffness of the coilover)...

You are using a 34mm offset? Im using a 42mm and the biggest I've gone is a 235 and its bloody close to the strut.

I have the real deal....

Wedsport tc005, 17x8 with +32 offset.

255/40/17 on the fronts, and 235/45/17 in the rear.

yep 34 offset is the only way to fit a 8,5 in wide rim in there, on stock strut I had to use a 1/8 spacer on the rear to clear.. I still have them on my coilover

FWD car + wider tires on the rear = FAIL

Streched tires? seroiusly? I hate seening DONKs and they are dangerous, now I have to see this?

:agree:

I'm Running 245/35/20 on 20 X 8 & 40mm offset Lexani Firestars

YUMMMM

That stance is sexy!

yep, and that's why it is that way !!!

jahubbz's looked nice at ass. he just a 1 or 1.5in spacer on the rear.

this is my set up... 245/40/20 the tires are too big, bought off a guy who had them on a buick regal... i put 1" spacers on the rear and rolled the fenders, and they do not rub... the front however, rubs the lower spring perch. I believe they are 8" or 8.5" wide

I ran 20x8.5 American Racing Maverick wheels w/a 40mm offset. 225/30/20 tire

My car was lowered too. Intrax springs/Sensa Trac struts.

lol since howie edited about being lowered, I should mention I am on eibach/FE3 struts... waiting for the H&R/GR2's to be installed...

i am running 18x5 with a 43mm offset and 215/35/18 tires and im dropped roughly 4" on the grand am and dont rub at all. sadly though the alero is stock..

Not to mention tire installers hate doing it, I work at a big O and we wont even touch them.

Where did you get that trunk deck lid?

you cant get that lid anywhere, he shaved the trunk tail lights. like this.

now thats clean as heck! I really like the shaved tails and molded license plate holder.

lol actually not like this guy,,, i know him... his is just putty over the lights... mine is a fiberglass piece that I made...

legit. you still looking at going osv?

Guiguilandy better be at ass

And drm post a damn pic of ypur car I have yet to see one

yep, i got the osv kit from kwhauck in my garage... i didn't worked on the car for like 18 months (since it's been keyed).. and it'll take another year before I start working again on it....
