Well I called up wheel studio. I got "wondering" if the 19x9.5 +40 will clear the brembos in the front.

Price quote on the 310 19X9.5 all around +40 with falkens 255/35 $1899 shipped
and the ones at the top of this page same setup $1999 shipped.

Yea exactly! Now it's off to chat with members so I can get some concrete proof of wheel fitment.

I'm sure fellow Azine members have more info than vendors that actually sell the stuff as usual.

My package only ran a little over $1500 but that was with nexen tires. I really don't think you'll have issues with fitment. Looking through AG's blog they have the M368's mounted on a new Genesis with front and rear Brembo's.




From there blog about the M310:
"With a deep concave profile, the M310 is an aggressive approach to the classic mesh wheel. The single piece design is built with specific applications in mind to maximize brake clearance without the need for spacers, yet maintain as much concavity as possible. The M310 is hub centric for most vehicles and TPMS compatible."

After staring at your pictures and TRIOD3SIGNS i have to admit that the M310's is a really nice look for the TL's.. and your set up is on point... I might go the 310 route myself in dolphin gray.. hmmm

Just remember that the packages from wheelstudio includes mounting, hunter road force balancing, lugs, nitrogen filled, and free shipping. So $1900-2000 for the entire package is still a great price imo.

Oh I'm not bitching about the price at all!

I saw your running 245s all around, how much space do you have in the front between the tire and fender? I'm gonna go with 255s I think and wanna make sure I'm gonna have the clearance.

I know the rear you have plenty of clearance cause I had a 9.5 w245 about a month ago.

The front have more clearance then the back tbh. Next set of tires I think I'm gonna do a 255 also. 255 and the rear will need to be rolled for sure.

Really you think so?? The 19x9.5 +40 I just had I still had some room with the 245 on there. It was close to the rear fender really. I figured I could of gone with a 265 on that wheel.

Thanks for your replies to btw.

Are you running negative camber in the rear? I have my rear running almost no negative camber. I will most likely run a 255 next time but I'll just have my rears rolled jic. Would like that little bit of edge protection the 255 offers.

I'm running 0 camber in my rear and -1.2 in the front. I really wanna do the 255 for that reason you just said. But I'll be pissed if I have to roll!!!

Please post some pictures when you finish....I'm very interested in buying the m310 or 368 from the same place.

Which tires did you go with and what specs on the wheels and tires?

Thanx

Any reason why you went with the 8.5"? Did wheelstudio recommend you not go with a 9.5" +40?

Ok cool. I know wheelstudio doesn't like to suggest the 9.5" +40 for our cars. They do fit w/o issues.

The reason I asked was because the 9.5 +40 has a deeper concave then the 8.5's. The deeper concave looks better imo.

Ya, no problem. I run a 245 on my 9.5" rims with BC racing coilovers (little over 2" drop). Only rub I had was my front passenger tire. That was mainly from having the wheel turned and hitting a bump.

I received my avant garde m310 in dolphin gray and i love them. Amazing color by the way. They are 18 x 9.5 x 40mm offset all around. I am going to reuse my tires for now which are 245 x 40. Im dropped on a-spec but the rear is a little more then what a-spec would give since i have a sound system in trunk which is not that heavy at all, I kept it to a minimum but for some reason it still sits much lower in the back then the front.

Im going to have them installed tomorrow and hope i wont have any rubbing issues.

I also dont know how much the tire will be stretched and how safe that is, but im thinking it should be fine. When the time comes to get the new tires i would like to run 255 all around. Not sure if that is possible without any issues.
