I dont know how my post got to stay.

 

Alright J, here ya go... I was going to post them in my introduction thread. But perhaps I will wait until I get some legit DSLR shots for that.

 

Does any one if the rims, front 19x9.5 offset +13 with 235/35/19 and rear 19x10.5 offset+17with 285/35/19, fit rx8？thx guys.

 

dont fit

 

why. too agresive？

 

obviously

 

but if i adjust the camber and everything. is it possible to fit？or if i change the rear tire to 245 width？thx

 

I would have said they would fit if you adjust the camber if that were the case. They could be made to fit but it involves a **** ton of work and permanent modifications to the car. I assume if you knew how to do all that stuff you wouldn't be asking what fit on this car.

 

I had some pretty serious rubbing issues running 275/35/19 in the rear on 19x10 +20 lowered on just s-techs. If you're lowered at all, unless you're on coilovers and aftermarket control arms you will never get those to fit, I had to run -6 camber on coilovers and had to do a fairly moderate pull to stop the rubbing. And I had to shave all the rear bumper tabs.
Point of the story, dont run such massive tires. If you stretch some you will have no issues.

 

Hey Guys, thinking of buying some TSW Nurburgring 19's and using some runflats I had from my previous car since I already have them (yes I know they are a staggered size). Just want to know if it will fit.

F: 19X8.5 +45
R: 19X8.5 +45

F: 225/35/19
R: 255/30/19

Thanks.

 

It won't look good IMO and the specs are all wrong, but it will fit.

 

yea just did some calculations and it will be 0.5" less radius than stock
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll have to think about this one lol
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
225/45-18 4.0in 13.0in 26.0in 81.6in 777 0.0%
225/35-19 3.1in 12.6in 25.2in 79.2in 800 -3.0%
255/30-19 3.0in 12.5in 25.0in 78.6in 806 -3.7%

 

You will hate the 19" runflats...very stiff sidewall and low profile tires makes for a very crappy ride

 

yea, they are off of my 335i, I remember going over bumps and stuff was a nightmare, but regular driving wasn't too too bad.
What would be the ideal size to go with these rims, 225/40-19 or wider?

 

Have 17x9 with +27 offset and when I installed my springs it rubbed badly in the back. I already rolled the fenders and I was wondering if anyone could refer me to a place that can mill my wheels in New Jersey or New York. Thanks Guys.

 

What do you need them milled for?

1. what size tires are you running?
2. did you get an alignment after you lowered the car?
3. what springs did you install and did you put new struts on? how many miles on the struts?

 

what is milling?

 

Im curious as well as to what part of the wheel you are wanting to mill? Having worked as a tool and die maker for 6 years I am familiar with the term and how it apllies but in this case im not sure?

Maybe you are talking about milling the inner mating surface to the hub so that the outer wheel edge is farther from the fender? If that were the case it may make it to thin to seat a lug nut properly? You might also lose some rigity from that area.

 

Removing material from an object. Exapmple using a CNC machine to mill a head for a car if its warped.

 

What tires are you running?

 

I a running 255/40/17 on my wheels and yes I wanted to shave off the inner part of the wheel to move the wheel in. I want to install my Tokiko Struts with my Tanabe springs. The wheels fit perfectly but when I installed the springs it was rubbing at the get go. I know if I can shave off a mm or two it should be flush and stop my rub. Thanks for all the help.

 

A rubber mallet to the fenders might be the easier solution.

 

20x10 +30
Wearing a 275/30ZR20 tire.

Will it fit? with a fender roll/trim and maybe some negative camber (but no pulling)?

If not I have the option of +45 instead of +30, but I want to fill the wheel well with a roll and some negative camber.

 

Tires are too tall.

Stock ride height or what?

 

Stock ride height, but considering lowering springs or coilovers if needed. By the way, I rolled the tire next to the factory tire and it's absolutely identical to the factory tire -- same diameter. I just don't have the rims yet.
