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

 

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.

 

old school...

 

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

 

nice. they look exactly like mine

theyre going look hella good.

 

he's 45. grandpa

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Gosh they look nice.

 

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

 

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.

 

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....

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

dang! fits perfect!

 

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

 

Very beefy.

 

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

 

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!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

^ 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.

 

looks good man! welcome to the SEEYOU2MESHCREW

are the spacers on the rear yet?

do you plan to put spacers on the front?

 

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

 

Crazy!

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.
