Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Forum. I have just put new wheels and tires to my TYPE-S (18 X 8.5 ADR-CYPHER Bronze with Falken FK451 245/40ZR/18). What do you guys about size of the rims and tires. Pls. comment (good or bad). I did not drop. The rides and turns are awesome.

I will get a metallic tint 35 all around next week. Pls. advise me if I should get an alignment right away or a bit. I have 18K on my ride. Thanks!

Yikes. I hope you're not dropping that car? 8.5" is too wide for our car and with a 245 series tire you're gonna rub like mad. I believe the highest offset they come in is a +45.

 

Thanks for the comment and the good info. Thank goodness, I haven't experienced the rub yet.

 

 

Yeah...How about some pics! And please, please don't tell me you put bronze wheels on a silver car!!!

Oh yeah, a drop with what you have is out of the question...

 

I don't plan to drop. Sorry, forgot to mention the color is Anthracite. I'll try to attach the pic.

 

Here is the pic. I hope this works.

 

Sorry, wrong pictures

 

Honestly dude, return them. They don't fit, you can't drop your car, which makes it look like a 4x4. Just my $.02.

 

I like the wheels and how they look on your car, But if you want to drop it you'll probably rub. But then again if you haven't rubbed yet maybe you can get by dropping it a little bit.

So, I'd keep them if your not planning on slammin it.

 

Try it. I bet your rear tires will rub if you've a few big guys sitting in the back seat when going over bumps or dips, even if you don't drop the car.

 

18"x8.5" will definitely rub badly if you drop, which you said you won't...
Those don't look bronze!!!
<just kidding>

 

SORRY IF I BEING MEAN...BUT 245/40R18??? WITH 18X8.5??? I WOULD BE LIKE HELL NO...IF U EVER GOING TO DROP YOUR CAR...U BETTER GET ANOTHER RIMS AND TIRES BEFORE U DO IT...I KNOW FOR SURE IT WOULD RUB LIKE CRAZY...BUT ANYWAY WHAT IS THE OFFSET???

 

EVOR UA5--you are being mean. YOU ARE YELLING AT THE POOR GUY!
What's up with that?

Oh, BAM5, I forgot: They do look very, very nice on your ride!!!

 

REMEMBER I SAID "SORRY IF I BEING MEAN"...I JUST POST A REPLY TO LET HIM KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG...LOTS OF PPL TOLD HIM ALREADY...REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID..."GOOD OR BAD COMMENTS"...JUST TRY TO HELP HIM OUT = BEING MEAN???!!!

 

Nope. Writing IN ALL CAPS in the wonderful world of the internet (I'm gonna assume you aren't an internet geek like some of us may be considered) means YOU ARE YELLING AT SOMEONE. If you never capitalize, you are submissive and then someone will come and HARRASS YOU TO NO END!.

So, ALL CAPS=YELLING=mean.

 

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your honest inputs and remarks. It's cool. I am not offended. I like it when people tell me as they see it. I think everyone on the forum is very cool and knows alot of stuffs about the tl-s. I have alot to learn from everyone.

Thanks again!

thats a good one "r10apple"...haha...=)

 

Defin not feeling the rims. I would have just kept the stock ones on......I think they look better.

 

Ugh, their ugly to me. Look like they should be on an Eclipse or something. Just my $.02
