Hello, I'm wanting to purchase my rims for my 8 and I'm wondering what exactly should I get?

I have the rims picked out, I want the Falken Koblenz (Black w/ Chrome Lip)

I'm wondering as far as sizes what should I get, like all 4 (19 x 8.5)?

Should I go for the 8.5 or the 9.5? Or Both? (9.5 in the back 8.5 front)

If someone could tell me what tires I should get, that would be great... I need 225/40/19's right?

Thanks!

 

Oh god. You mentioned 20's.You better search around before the 20 inch haters attack you!

 

help please

or the aftermarket wheels thread

that should keep you busy with info

 

Do they have a 19 x 5" front and 19 x 20" rear staggered option?

 

It always amazes me how immature a lot of people here are with their condescending remarks. Not everyone spends hours a day here on the forum and know every thread possible.

He's a guy who just wants an opinion for a specific wheel. GEEZ. I thought the point of these forums is to help out a fellow enthusiast. It's not like he's a complete stranger off the street who's asking about rims for his Civic.

To answer your question, you can probably hit up member: sucess07

He's got the Koblenz and I believe they are 19x8.5 all around. If you do a search for "Falken Koblenz" his thread will turn up. I was also considering these wheels for my white RX8. I think I might end up going with 18" Axis Reverbs for a cleaner look. They are also a few pounds lighter than stock too.

 

whether or not you go with a staggered setup front and rear its up to you. I would go with 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear

In regard to tires, I would go with 235/35/19 front and a 275/30/19 rear. Alot of people have gone with 245/35 front but I don't like the fact that it is taller than the rear tire. Not by much but it still is.

I think that a 225 tire on an 8.5 in rim is going to be a bit small and it will look kinda stretched. its also going to be larger than your stock wheel/tire combo.

If you want to go with the same setup all around you could go with the 19x8.5 and run the 245/35 tire. It will be roughly the same size as the oem but will work just fine.

I don't know about your offset choices but your front could be as low as probably +35 and still be safe. The rear would have to be about a +44ish or more to give you the ability to not have to roll your fenders.
