what suspension are you running? H&Rs?

those wheels look pretty nice...where did you get them and how much?

why are the rears wider than the fronts...but you have hte overall same tires... wouldn't you have wider rear tires if you have a wider wheel..what am I missin??

Today I changed my rear size tires, to 275/30/19.
because the rear tires were rubbing the inside fender lip with 3 passangers in the back seat.

Front: wheels: 19x8.5 ( Off set = +35) + Tires: 245/35/19
Rear: wheels: 19x9.5 (Off set= +35) + Tires: 275/30/19
Note: Hub Center rings (Id= 64.1mm/ OD=72.6mm) on all 4 wheels . NO Spacer Needed.

wow...at first i thought those prices were PER wheel..but it's the whole set... they sell sets of 18" wheels for like $500-600 bucks...CHEAP!

if I could get a replica set of aspecs for that price i'd be all over it...

how does the quality look?

why were htey rubbing? is the offset not perfect? how is it now tha tyou have the new tire size? do the rears look really fat? an pics? you ought to take some from the back... 275 are FAT.

my boxster has 265s on teh rear..and they look FAT..granted it's a small car so the tires look fat reltaive to the car..but 275 are pretty wide...

does it handle better than before?

what springs are you running?

looks good!!

below pictures of my current tire size.
Front: wheels: 19x8.5 ( Off set = +35) + Tires: 245/35/19
Rear: wheels: 19x9.5 (Off set= +35) + Tires: 275/30/19

Back End Pic


Rear Tire Pic - 275/30/19


Front Tire Pic - 245/35/19


They are affortable rims, good looking. when I located the online store and look at their pics, i wasn't sure about the quality and appearance because of their price on a 19" wheels Set , but they fool me once i opened the wheel box. .....

mod edit (neuronbob) links and post cleaned up

GREAT!! NEWs!!
Just installed the front tires today and as soon i got them on, I went for the parkway garden to revs Up the RL. The Tires size combinations
( Front 235/35/19 and Rear 275/30/19 ) paid off.

My car feels so much alive and runs way better, almost same feeling as running stocks wheels 17". I said this because low profile tires + big rims you feel the road way to much.

With this new tires set up You hit the pedal and car responds quickly. Went up to 80mph and didnt feel the vibrations on wheels as running 245/35/19.

I think and believe you can run staggered rims with the condition that maintain an Overall Diameter matched or 0.1% differrence + Rear wheels always running spedometer 0.1% SLOWER than Front Wheels.
By doing this, the AWD system will revs up rear wheels ( as supposed to )and NOT the Rear wheels running faster than the front wheels.
That was my problem, me running Front tires 245/35/19 making my Rear tires 275/30/19 to run 1% faster.

Hope this information help to anyone who is thinking running staggered wheels set up.

Did they provide the rings? I really like the look of these in 18's non staggered... and the price is RIGHT!

Did you get them to provide you the specs?

Ok I have a couple questions...

1. Did the stock TPMS Sensors fit right in without mods?

2. What emblems did you use for the center caps? Did you just pull them from the stock caps or get them from some other acura model?

No, im not using the stocks TPMS Sensors, I sold them with stock rims. At the moment going crazy wit NO TPMS detection warning in the front panel...lol. I don't know if stock TPMS sensor will fit.

2. What emblems did you use for the center caps? Did you just pull them from the stock caps or get them from some other acura model?
I retain Stock Acura emblems from Stock wheels.

It's a YES... but it's gonna take me a while since I'm saving a little bid to add the trunk lid spoiler at the same time.

I don't know if TJ it's coming out soon with rear window spoiler .. and See how his Rl will look.
