Bought some new wheels

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

Nice. Congrats!

Offsets?

Thx, super excited! Offset is 22 f&r

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

wow can I go that wide, that would be sweet

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!

Now get them mounted please :)

Nice wheels post pics!

Yep-ready to see,,, I been looking at the Trans.Red Forgeline wheels; but I currently have beer money to go with my champagne taste! LolAttachment 107854Attachment 107855

Thx for the info

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.

I know I wish there were on yesterday

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!

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!

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

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

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.

How did you measure them? Interior lip to interior lip or exteriors?

I figured I might, I had planned on doing a test fit in the next couple weeks. If I can ever find some free time.

Both, the measurement in the first post (9.5, 10.5) is the distance from bead seat to bead seat, or interior lip. The 10 3/8" and 11.5 is the overall rim width, or exterior.

I finally found the time to test fit the wheels. I knew they had aggressive offsets but it looks like they're gonna require some work to fit. I will need to use my the spacers that are on the car now with my stock sport wheels in order to clear the front calipers.

I really don't like any of the fender flares I've seen that are available so most likely I'll extend the fenders and quarter panels with metal. I've always loved wide body cars and it looks like I'm about to own one.

So you're going to do a camcam build? Should be interesting. Good luck!

Just noticed you originally went with 9.5&10.5 why the switch to 10&11.5 now?

sry I don't know what a camcam build is.

I wish the wheels were 9.5/10.5 I'd have less of a headache. That's what they were advertised as. If you measure them from inner bead seat to inner bead seat they are that, but overall they are 10.25/11.5

I saw you said in another thread that you were going to extend the fenders which reminded me of this guy, camcam

Gotcha

I just picked up a set of RAYS G-25s 20x10 +30f and 20x 12 +20 R. Looking at tire options now. Want to stay as close to normal camber as possible. Would 325/25/20 work in the rear?? Looking at 275/30/20 up front. I KNOW that is a thin tire but only other options are 35 series in rear and that makes the overall diameter 2" bigger.

So that's what was in those boxes in your IG lol :tup:

Offset looks pretty good for front/ but rear may be too aggressive/ I've seen +26 w/325/25's & +28 w/345/30/19. Both are very close to flush... Look at "Meaty Tire Thread" post. Both of these ~Z's~ are posted there.

I would tell you if I could remember the offsets of those 20x11.5 HREs. However, at one point I considered Rohana RF2 in 20x12 in 27mm offset. I found out from a source that the wheel would fit in the rear with 325/25. I'd venture a guess that the 20-mm offset may not need body work, if it did, it woukd probably be minimal.

Creepin' on people! :tup:

^you got me lol

yikes.. might be easier just starting over from scratch, lava.

I hear ya...weighting out my options now.

Yeah, I have to agree. If you're having to wing it on a widebody project just to fit the wheels, the juice may not be worth the squeeze. Unless of course you originally intended going that route.
