that's awesome. hope you enjoy them.

heck he added the Tokico D-Specs and it improved his road holding greatly then added monster wheels and it stuck even better so. I think you should notice a lot more grip for sure.

Would this fit? i want it to be as flush as possible

Front - 19X8.5 +30 5-120
Rear - 19X9.5 +22 5-114.3

plus i really want the CE28n Formula Limiteds and thats the smallest ive seen so far for 19s. those arent the only option i have. if you have any suggestions to what would the most flush w/o rubbing in 19s

Thanks

First, tire size matters and you didn't include that. The rears will require a good bit of work to fit. They are about 1/2" too far out. The fronts won't fit since they are 5-120, but the size and offset should be fine depending on tire.

9.5 +22 will look good, someone on the forums is rocking a set of tenzos that spec all around, looks nice. With the small tire size you want to run, it'll be an easy fit. btw our bolt patten is 114.3

It is possible, just be prepared to do a lot of work, NTB's rx8 runs 18x10 +5 all around, and they run 265 all around, but the fenders are flared

EDIT: they are 10.5 +6 in the rear

alright thanks... so since they dont have the right bolt pattern for 19x8.5s could i go 9.5s all around? or would it be too wide in the front?

thanks again

You'll need to roll/pull your fenders, but no it wont be too wide.

Front : 8.5J X 19" ET35 with 245/35/19

Rear : 9.5J X 19" ET35 with 255/35/19

or should i run 255/35/19 all around? --> which will look nicer?

Another thing is that the shop im buying from seems pretty adamant on selling me 235/35/19 fronts and 265/30/19 rears. Will they fit too? --> and the rear will b lower than the front by 5mm??

Thanks!

Go with 255/35/19 all around. You can go wider in the rear (275/30) if you roll the rears.

I need you wheel guru's help once again.

Im looking at picking up a set of enkei rpf1's.

The set Im looking at are:

18 x 8.5 + 30 offset.

I would be running 245/40/18 tires. May go to 255/40/18 at a later day.

It would be dropped on HKS Hipermax RS.

Ive heard I may need to roll my rear fenders, which I really dont want to hassle with.

Is rolling a necessity to avoid rubbing or would it be ok?

I'd probably be sticking with stock alignment settings.

Thanks

With negative camber you won't need a roll.

I suppose when all you care about is looking cool you don't need maximum grip either ...

I'll bet a dollar you don't need a roll with stock alignment. Take that back. Economy is bad. Shouldn't bet dollars. It'll be close.

How will 225/40 tires fit on 18x8.5 +38mm wheels.
I have aprox 80% tread left on my current tires and want to use them before I buy more rubber... Bent rim so buying diff wheels as OE wheels are overpriced.
