Tire Package & Preformance
I am thinking about purchasing the following wheel package:
  • Toyo Proxes T1R Tires - 245/40R19
  • Driv GT Rims - 19x8.5 45mm offset
How would this wheel package affect:
  • Steering
  • Ride Height
  • Braking
*I know the speedometer will be off by 1.8kms.

Finally, what are your thoughts on:
  • Driv GT Rims
  • 19x8.5 or 19x10
  • Toyo Proxes T1R Tires

Although I love the stock rims, they are a bit scratched and require new tires.


Cheers!

I like the tires. I can't say that I really like the rims though.

the rims are a little too much. check the weight on the rims. if they are above 23 lbs, its a no go

Have to agree, do not like the wheels. A little too much chrome.

I also agree, not digging the chrome, but it's your move.

Thing the tires are probably good.

Those rims... They don't belong on any car.

depends on how heavy they are, but they sound pretty heavy. Should hurt performance a lot.
