Wont look too good without rubber...

 

haha :P

but will they fit?
with:
For - 235 / 35 / 19
Bag - 265 / 30 / 19

and with 34 ET?

 

Suspension?

 

I havent lower it?

 

Look like crap unless lowered. Do the 9.5" wheels all around with 275/30 and roll the fenders and trim up the bumper tab. Lower it at least 2" all around

 

oka, i also wants to lower it, but i have just got a great deal on some new rims, so i just wants to know if they can fit? with out going widere end the fender, of are they gonna go on when i turn (sorry for the english, i am danish)

 

Look like **** unless lowered. The tires are less than ideal as well if they are included.

 

but can they fit? whitout going out of the fenders?

 

They won't rub but will sit beyond the fender in rear.

 

crap..

 

That's part of the reasoning behind lower it first

 

Ok folks Im looking for a conservative upgrade here with little or no performance hit if possible. I am not willing roll my fenders or change the camber. Think plug n' play.

Rim options:

ACE Trend:
18x8 w/38 Offset
18x9 w/ 40 Offset

Will the 9inch work? if so what tire combos would be better for a little wider than stock, but not crazy weird. I just want to flll the fender well a bit more.

Also, I would like to lower it about an inch in the future.

Thanks ahead of time

 

imo, no reason to run stag fitment but if you dont want to go with the same sizes all the way around...

go with 245's with either a 35 or 40 series sidewalls.

You should be fine w/out a roll and its pretty conservative. You can probably run staggered tires too if you can get a decent price.

 

9 +40 all around with 245/40. Those wheels will be a performance hit since I suspect they weigh a ton.

 

I was concerned too, checked and I got a 19" rim weight at just slightly over factory rim weight, +8lbs. I will guess an 18 x 9 will be close to the same weight as a 19" x8....I think it will be ok. I don't race, and my driving is not too nuts anymore.

I think the rims look sweet and havea similar rotary theme like the other accents on the car.

 

+8lbs is close to stock lol. That's nearly 50% more weight

 

lol well we know who the optimist is!

Seriously though lets talk numbers, how much gas mileage am I going to lose? Is there going to be a serious instability problem?

In some worlds .1 is a lot and in others it is not a factor at all... There will be a difference yes, but how noticeable

 

Ride quality will be affected negatively in a noticeable manner. Gas mileage will continue to be bad. You can't fix that. There are no numbers to discuss as it's highly variable. Heavy wheels are a negative in every regard (especially when they are ugly). I guess they are cheap though..........

 

Hey thanks for the assist. I did a bit more research and decided that I did't want to compromise that much on performance based upon my choice of what looked good. So decided on this set up on all 4 corners:

Enkei PF01 18x8.5
Hankook Ventus V4 ES 245/40

I decided against a staggered setup as further reading indicated that staggering worsen understeer.

Any further advise is welcome however!

 

+35ish would look best at stock height and +45ish for performance. You won't notice a difference though.

 

18x10 +36 front and rear.
255/35 hankook ventus rs3 tires
lowered on coilovers.

would need a slight roll correct?

 

What does lowered on coilovers mean? It's ride height that's important.

If you are lower than s-tech, 265/35 with a roll should work. 275/35 should be good as well but may require some fender tab work.

 

Stock wheels are slightly tucked right now due to winter weather. Will be a little lower as soon as April hits. I am lower than s-techs.

 

I want to keep ride height stock.

What offset would give me flush or just shy front and rear and what size tire to fill in a little gap without looking retarded? Will be going with 18s of an undetermined width.

Going for the "tough" look. Want something flush with some meat on it, I like when the tire sticks out past the rim. No stretch and not flush.

Something that says hey look at me, look how big my biceps are. Haha.
