Wonder if I should run a spacer on the front to make them more lined up?

Fronts are: 19x8.5 +28
If my early morning math is correct, the rears will only be 4.05mm (.15") further out compared to the fronts.

The guy I bought them from ran Falken 452 235/35/19 245/35/19

Does this seem like a good setup to go with?



Also, ran a 15mm spacer in the back to make them more flush.

Do you think I should pick up some spacers also for the rear?

I don't know how the car is going to sit with these specs.

If they were lined up that would be good and in that case I'd want to also get the spacers for the rear.

225 in the front. u'll have some rubbing with 235. in the back, 245 might rub a little. but then 235 will stretch a lot

Okay good to know.

I don't know shit about tires and this will definitely be the most aggressive setup I've ever had.

Yeah I hope I do. We'll have to see but that's the plan to have them on by then.

Thinking of getting some new lugs for the new wheels.

Thinking something gunmetal, black maybe...not sure.

Suggestions?

Also, for tires...thoughts?

Falken FK 452 or Hankook V12 Evo K110

Have had Falkens in the past but don't anything about Hankook.

For tuner lugs for our cars...

Is our thread pitch 12x1.5?

I guess I'm going to be looking for extended lugs.

Are there any sets that are decent that aren't over $200?

get hankooks. pretty good brand tires. i've had them since i've had the car. very quiet too. but mine were ventus v4 i think.
not sure about the threads on the lugs. check ebay. just type in accord lugs and what ever shows up, look at the what the thread size is.

Ok cool. Thanks for the input on the tires.

Trying to get my wheels on before Wekfest on the 20th.

I'm not showing but trying to organize a mini shoot afterwards and want to show off the new shoes.

If I get extended lugs I don't need extended studs right?

Do you think it would look overkill or with red extended lugs with the Red Rotora calipers?

So I guess my options are:

Black
Gunmetal
Red

Which ones?

I dont think the color would be too much either as its just the lug nuts and the calipers. Its such a small area it should be tasteful, not ricey.

Cool. That might look good with the red calipers and extended lugs.

Just a mild bit if red to tie into the red tail lights.
