Not sure if anyone is running 19x9.5 on the front and 19x10.5 on the rear. Thats my setup and I plan on stuffing them under the fenders with the car slammed. I'll post more pictures up later on.

 

I chose this blurry pic on purpose. Oh yeah the wheels are the Buring Black wheels on 2nd to the far left. The 5 spoke wheels.

 

In this thread also blurry is a 3rd Gen runnng that setup on work wheels.

You found that thread. Oh well. Heres a better quality pic.

 

damn 19 by 10.5 is that even possible to run

 

lol..had a feeling that was your car but was just checking..I go and over at pj.com to check what's up in the 808 since you guys do things we wouldnt even attempt.

 

That car looks awesome, I Love Work wheels

What did you do to the fenders? Didi you roll them or did you pull them out?

 

Yeah......I does look like he pulled and rolled the lip, considering do that process on my next ride......so I can get that aggressive drop.

Kev

 

VS-KFs very nice.

 

Hehehe.... looks like you found our site..

 

I didn't have to pull any fenders to make it fit. I believe that 10.5 on the rear is as agressive as it will get without having Air Runners or pulling the fender.

 

Yeps with the correct offset. The rear is actually lower now. I centered the wheels at the show and the rear didn't settle as nicely as I wanted it.

 

wowwww :killer:

 

what off set is that?

 

... Car looks SicK.... yeah... what offset and tire size are you running in that bad boy...

 

Ok the car looks good..........but why would you run a staggered setup on a FWD car? pure vanity? The guy in the civic-s is gonna be laughing at you in his rearview mirror.

 

Just waiting for some jackass to make a comment like this, how about just say nice car. By the way ComptechUA6 your car looks great!

 

Hey jackass.................read the first line dipshit!

 

He can do it because its his car.

 

Seeing 10s and 10.5s on the rear of TLs makes me want to order 2 19x10 TE37s for my car. It just looks so good. And yeah what offset are those in the rear?

 

Of course he can do it as it is his car.............and it does look terrific, I am just wondering what the thought process is behind the decision.

 

Why not? It looks good.

 

Why not ?? dont get me started, there are many reasons.........

It looks good is the only positive one I can think of, its just up to each of us if it outweighs the negatives. There is no doubt that it looks great! I am looking for some other positives

 

and #2 they look better than the OEM enkei's.

 

#3 you only have to raise one end of the car to do a rotation!

 

I went with a staggered setup just because of the look. The staggered lip on the wheels just outweighed all the cons of running staggered wheels on a FF in my personal opinion. I just wanted to go as agressive as possible without any major fender work.

 

people who run work wheels don't really care for cost of the tires

 

Well it looks killer! Thats incredible that there was no fender rolling or nuthin required.....and you have no rubbing at all?

 

I'll never get why people desire wider rear wheels/tires on a fwd car.

I guess it looks cool, but anyone who knows anything will knows its just for show.

 

Yes we have established that already!

 

Those must be pretty high offset to fit 10.5's for the rear. Most likely over 50mm I am guessing. So are you running 19x9.5's for the fronts??

PS.... Very nicely done!!!!

 

I agree

 

Exactly....

 

Thats great! I guess you could also say that people who run this staggered setup don't really care how their car performs.

 

Persistent isn't he...

 

I am a small voice among the masses that is a firm believer that people should not cripple their cars in the name of vanity. And there are many people who read these threads who make decisions without fully understanding the consequences. I know that because I have done it on more than one occassion many years ago.

flame away

 

It looks insanely good....who cares.

Its not like running all 19x8 is going to make your TL burn a vette' off the line, or outhandle an evo @ the track.

Think of it like this...

19x8 = asian super model (90lbs, B-cup, true model)

19x9.5/19x10.5 = Euro super model with double D's and some figure

Yeah, those fruity judges would pick the top one, but HONESTLY, which one looks better


wow that was some good weed.

 

funny analogy, and good weed too!

I guess I am going with the anorexic flat chested super model since I am still running 17's

 

Really cant compare what we were able to do to cars years ago compared to now. Back in the days cutting your springs on a corolla 1.8 was the thing to do in the hood and who cared about kidney damage and ride quality. Now the consumer and especially most people who deal with top of the line wheels such as Work do their research first and if you go to a certified Work dealer they are very knowledgeable in the car and the wheels. In this case where Mr. Comptech purchased his wheels the dealer is extremely knowledgeable in the TL and its capabilities to not lose form over function.

 

wider wheels in the rear decreases UNDERSTEER in a FWD while conering.... how's that for a thought process...
