yeah the front is like millimeters away from the plastic wheel well when i turn the wheel.... the tire is beefy but it will absorb potholes better and lessen the chances of rim bending? true or false me on that... im just assuming

and quick question.... my TPMS says my psi on 2 tires is 58 psi! i brought it back to the guy and he adjusted it and said the computer will adjust, it will take time? True or false me on that too lol

First of all, SEXY RIMS!!! Second, why are your tires millimeters away from the plastic?
My 19s are 235 front and 265 rear and they ride smoothly; no rubbing or anything. As for the TPMS, I would think that it should automatically adjust, I don't know about taking some time; when my rims were put on, the TPMS was working normally.

Oh btw, why didn't you get the black? Don't like the black on black look?

Need URGENT HELP!!
So I'm drivig to RI, and my TPMS keeps giving me an error message and in my MID it doesn't give me a reading. I know this is due to my new rims and suggestions on how to get the correct PSI Reading?

Why don't you simply check the ACTUAL pressure with a conventional air gauge?

My 19's are a 35-series sidewall as I suspect are yours. The OP's wheels are 20-inch diameter AND he is running a MUCH larger sidewall. To give you a better comparison, that would be like running 245/45-19's on your rims. I guess you missed the sidewall details, huh? He's so close because he is running a 40-series sidewall instead of the 30-series that most 20-inch guys are running. Therefore, his tire is a good bit taller than are yours

I love the black on black look but everyone told me it's getting played out, although i feel chrome is played out... i shoulda just got multi colored rims lol

The rims look nice but those thick sidewalls makes your car look like it sitting up high of the ground.

I agree, you should go with a 35 sidewall or really drop the car. The meaty tires take away from the overall look of the car.

Good choice in wheels though!

hmmm... I dont get why your rubbing!?

You saw my setup...Im running 245/30/20 Front & 255/30/20 Rear tires...I originally wanted 245/35/20 for the rear but the tire shop recommended the 255/30/20 cause of the rolling diameter & the 35 was way taller than the Front...

AND Im dropped way more than you

Try rolling your fenders, you can find out if you need a camber kit when u go for an alignment. Depends upon just how much your camber is off.

Good Luck Kid!

It looks alright, I'm not here to say the wheels are trash the only reason I'm saying it's alright is because I think the Varianza would have looked better.

Your riding on 30-series 20-inchers. This guys is riding on 40-series 19's. In addition, his offset is probably more aggressive than is yours (i.e. pushed out further) which would make his ride more likely to rub. He is the ONLY 19 riding on 40-series sidewalls that I am aware of in these forums. The majority of us all went with the 35-series sidewall on our 19s for the same reason you went with the 30-series on your 20s.

Looks tight NBP is the only car I think really shinny chrome rimz look good one. Nice. Tires look flush to me. Dont think they need a camber. Unles thier 20s. Alot of ppl that go 19 say thier fine without it.

yeah, im pretty happy with the tires now because it looks alright without a drop and i have a lesser chance of bending one of my rims- even though i already drive like this cuz of freakin potholes...


____/0\_0 _____

(The 0's are potholes and the lines are my driving line lol)

but im def going to drop it on my next set of tires or when i find someone reliable to roll my fenders because of all the complaints people rant about on this forum about messed up fenders
