Bought some new wheels

LAVA · 09-18-2015, 05:10 PM

Can't wait to put them on the car
19x 9.5/10.5

Zbrah · 09-18-2015, 05:16 PM

Nice. Congrats!

Offsets?

LAVA · 09-18-2015, 05:18 PM

Thx, super excited! Offset is 22 f&r

Zbrah · 09-18-2015, 05:21 PM

That calls for a meaty set up! 325s on the rear perhaps?

LAVA · 09-18-2015, 06:43 PM

wow can I go that wide, that would be sweet

POS VETT · 09-18-2015, 11:43 PM

The rear fender wells can take major sizes. I wouldn't run 325 on a 10.5" wide wheel, but I currently have 325 on 11.5" which fit "loosely" in the rear. Judging from the available space, a 12-13" wide wheel would fit nice and "snug" carrying a 335 to 345-mm wide tire.

Nice Wheels LAVA!
Do you wish to keep stock diameter tire's or slightly shorter-due to lowered car.
Pending on Mfg. 265/35's & 305/30's are a good fit @ 26.3" diameter
oem diameter fat tires would be 275/35 & 325/30's.....325's on a 10.5 wheel is do-able with right tire selection.
Again nice wheels!

FairladyZ10PG · 09-19-2015, 02:42 AM

Now get them mounted please

I'm not sure yet, I'm kind of leaning towards a 35-40 sidewall for a couple reasons. 1. the only real reason I lowered the car was to bring the wheel gap into check, 2. I'm not super worried about better handling because there are on 3 corners within 108 miles of where I live. I'm open to advice on size options, so if anyone has any please share it. I do want very wide tires in back.

Unfortunately they won't be on until the spring because I'm putting the car up in a month for winter and I'm out of $$$.

Those are cool!

jchammond · 09-20-2015, 03:41 AM

You pretty much have limited yourself with the +22 9.9" fronts,,,not going to go hardly over a 27" tire & a 40 series tire would probably be too narrow in your book.
Depending on the manufacturer-i'm pretty sure the Hankook V12 evo2 (or what ever it's called)-would probably about max out the front in height,with diameter of 26.9" 285/35/19.
It's an XL tire with 10/32" tread,29lbs.,9.5-11"wheel width recom,showed 11.3"section &
9.8"tread on a 10" diameter wheel....that would be closer to an 11" section & 9.8" tread on your front wheels...26.9" tall (i've seen them on a lowered car-they fit) should not hit turning lock to lock,,,that about maxes out the front on a height perspective.
Rear's or open game...just what ever you want to squeeze on there...plenty of room-specs are nearly exactly that of the Nismo rear wheels.
Hankook's run a tad narrower than other's & the closest rear fitment within specs of your wheel width,is the 325/30,,,10/32" tread,32lbs.,measured 13" section & 11.5" tread on a 11" wheel...that would be about 12.7" section & 11.5" tread on yours (full fitment) at 26.7" diameter.
All that being said put's the front .2" taller than rear...the fix is to run 275/35's on front at 26.6".
these diameter's are about closest to factory as you can get-pending you want fatter tires.
i pm'd you pic's of 265/35 & 305/30's on the same size wheels as your's.
be sure and post pics of what you get.
Have A Great Sunday!

LAVA · 09-20-2015, 09:34 AM

wow thx, your like a personal tire consultant. I'm not against going with a 30 sidewall, and the wider the better in the back. I mentioned in the pm that the wheels are wider than the specs they gave me. I'm going to measure them again today

LAVA · 09-20-2015, 11:01 AM

Wheels measure 10 3/8 wide front and 11.5 wide rear

kenchan · 09-20-2015, 11:09 AM

before you mount tires, definitely check the front brake caliper clearance. those wheels are deep, might hit the caliper.

u'll probably want 5-10mm spacers on the rear.
