LOL jus messinnnn


Verrrrrry nice rims good sir, I know Ed might be alittle butthurt now. Offseeeeets plz

Mr Marco

Real pretty, but...
Another staggered set-up on a front wheel drive vehicle.
Somewhere along the line people have lost touch with the real reason to upgrade wheels and tires. Call me old school, but my goal with new wheels is to lighten the unsprung load and provide a platform for the best tire.

benben01

old school...

benben01

for mr NC.. 19x8.5 +45; 19x9.5+42
Tires: F: 245/40, R: 275/35.. wish me luck y'all

defconskylude

nice. they look exactly like mine

theyre going look hella good.

defconskylude

he's 45. grandpa

Mr Marco

Glad you didn't take it personally. They look hot, and from what little I've read on the Forgestar wheels site, they are a quality product too.

benben01

Thanks Defcon... Your setup and photos helped me pulled the trigger. For whatever reason if the 275s don't work, I am just gonna blame it on you

defconskylude

lol im not running 275. whats the cost of a 275 tire?

all 4 rims that are 19x9.5 +45 are running 245/35/19. my rears would probably rub if i had 275.

im getting 245/35/19 @ $130 per tire

benben01

i used your pics as basis to push the envelope. the 275s are ~250ish a tire.. However, i got one heck of a deal from Craigslist and got both NEW Nitto Invos for $250 A 350Z guy was cleaning out his garage

defconskylude

damn $250 a tire. too rich for my blood.

opboarding

two sets of awesome rims/tires? is one a winter set up?

MrOtocinclus

Gosh they look nice.

5thTo2nd

nice wheels. You're probably the first to go 275. It's going to be interesting seeing pics from the rear.

benben01

Thanks everyone. I don't have to worry too much about a winter set up as I work from home full time. If I do venture out in the snow/ice, we have the MDX and my beater Accord. The only hiccup with my wheel order is the incorrect hub rings. I have to wait for the correct ones to arrive sometime next week. In the mean time, I will try and at least one 275 mounted this weekend and see how it looks.

ed_423

oh godddddddddd i've been eyeing these wheels for the longest time, i m trying to sell my works for these LOl. 19x9.5 +42 was what i was gonna get lol. look at that concave!

im super jelly man....

benben01

and they have a nice powder coated finish on them too!

Mr. NC

TY for the offsets benbenbenbenbenbenbenben

Never have I seen a bunch of guys wait so intently for a guy to post ass shots...of his car haha. I ain't hatin I'm watin too

benben01

LOL.. Ass shots eh??? I am gonna see if I can sneak out during lunch time today to get one tire mounted. This way, we have a basis for comparison with the 245s I am running on 10mm spacers in the rear.

benben01

semi ass shots... no rubbing :0 tire is 275/35/19. the ares don't do it justice. it's much beefier looking in person compared to the 245/40 on the passenger side.

Norm24

dang! fits perfect!

defconskylude

uh oh do i see two rims at the same time! hahah memories

MrOtocinclus

Very beefy.

defconskylude

your rims remind me of the Audi rims (7 spokes) but concave and better looking.

ed_423

i think the tires fit because of your cf fender flare.

LOl

dude, that's perfect. that ass....that fitment......i just needa sell my works and get on them f14s now!

Mr. NC

A$$ a$$ a$$ a$$ a$$ a$$ a$$

swarlos

Looks good. Damn that rear is beefy! Load up some of your buddies in the back seat. You look incredibly close to rubbing.

benben01

Latest update.. I do have a lil bit of rubbing from the rear bumper area and not the fender. It will be a minor mod where I need to trim back some the plastic where the CF flares are located. More pics to come later today. BTW, got all 4 wheels and tires mounted on the car last night

See crappy iphone pic

YZ450

^ Hey man, don't trim, just heat the plastic with a heat gun and re-shape the plastic with a piece of 2x4 or something to the form you need. It's call the melt mod and it's very popular in the Nissan frontier forum to fit big tires in the front with a mild lift.

defconskylude

looks good man! welcome to the SEEYOU2MESHCREW

are the spacers on the rear yet?

do you plan to put spacers on the front?

benben01

Thanks! No spacers front or rear.. I am pretty flush as is I am loving the looks and the sidewall profiles on the 275s. If you can see it in person, it looks all business

MrOtocinclus

Crazy!

Puppetmaster

Looks great. I need to come see these in person sometime.

Any pics of the front? Curious to see how these fit relative to Defcon's, who theoretically has a little more poke, or is more flush, depending on how you look at it, up front because his are 9.5 wides +45.

defconskylude

my fronts are flush
rears are sunken by a half inch which is 12.7mm. if i bought 15mm spacers, it would be flushed. effective offset for the rears to be flushed would be 19x9.5 +30 with spacers

even with a +42 in the rear, it looks flushed with a 3mm difference from a +45 offset

i understood offsets when the lower the number, the more it pokes out. the higher offset will be sunken in

1 inch = 25.4mm

tobwac

wow that looks $$$
tires look very beefy lol but me like it

benben01

my fronts are 19x8.5 +45 and could use a 5mm spacer to make it flush.. Puppet, we can hook up any time when you are in the area or if there's a meet. I work from home and don't travel to VA anymore

ed_423

amazing....really want these now. i need someone to buy my works!! hahah

Puppetmaster

Got it, that's what I meant, you just said it better. Thanks for chiming in.

And yes, the lower the offset, the further the front face from the hub.
