    hey man so i've seen that you are quite the pro when it comes to wheel and tire fitment, would you happen to know if the 225 kumho ecsta ast will stretch ok on a 9.75 wheel??

    A disk is standard disc so the person who said 5mm spacers will be needed might be right. The specs in general are pretty conservative; you probably can get away with not rolling any fenders. A 225/35 for the rear might be overkill you can probably do 235/35. Definitely 225/35 for the front. The person who gave you that advice was overshooting a bit.

    I was wondering if you could help me out with these wheels before I purchase them. I posted it on the "will this fit " thread in the wheel section but no response yet.

    He said I'd need a 5mm spacer for my fronts and just fenders rolled or shaved. Any advice for me? Any problems ? Thank you in advance!

    Where did you buy your Rear Window Roof Spoiler?

    Looks great, much nicer than most I keep seeing, or do you have any details where I could buy one Now?
    Thanks.

    Hey Brian, long story short my fenders are eating up my tires. Is it possible to stretch a 45 profile tire? I need something that won't get eaten by my fenders! Please chime in on my thread! https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/help-new-wheels-my-tires-getting-cut-chewed-up-851839/

    i tried to pm but it was full.
    would know of any other forums or websites that are good for buying 2 or 3 piece rims? im looking to buy a set. i just know of clublexus, vr wheels, memory fab, stanceworks and maybe one or two other places. im looking to find more places that might have a bigger selection. i would just buy new but the wait time kills me and im so impatient.

    Of course, i've ran a 9.5 +22 front at a certain point, and a 19x10.5 +22 in the rear (work varianza T1S). At the time I had no camber kit so it was a PITA but make sure you stretch the tires (a 255/35-19 would even do it) with camber. Or else you will rub. 225/35 up front and camber helps.
