Volk SF-Winning f19x8.5 +38 r19x9.5 +42?

What do you think? I think the fronts would be fine its the rear I would be concerned about.

If not I think I am just going to go with some enkei 19" rpf1's that I know will fit with a +42 offset and width of 8.5"

I think you'd be rubbing.

I have the exact rear setup. Just go with 245/35 tires front and rear and you will be fine.

don5504

Thanks for the repsonse guys are any of you running staggered setups? If so do you mind sharing your offsets and rim specs?

don5504

I was thinking of running 265/30/19 tires since that is the closest to stock circumference. Do you think that will be a problem?

oh you wanna run meaty... 255/35-19 works too, but 265/30-19 works good too, but for the rear it wont affect speedo anyway so it is no real priority... as far as affecting the vsa/abs you'd be ok with running 265/35-19 for that matter

you will have to roll your rear fenders in order to run those meaty 265mm tires... IMHO

I'm running staggered fitment and my offsets are in the 30's...

Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I paid $2719.99 for them but I will be getting back $250 due to the cash back thing. So in the end it will cost me $2469.99 and shipping is free. Now for tires.....HA

These are the exact wheels I purchased.

those wheels look real dope... Good Luck

don5504

Thanks man I messaged the seller to inform him what my car is so I get the correct hubcentric rings and stuff and he replied back great and that they will ship out today. So hopefully that means I won't have to wait a long time to get them.

Also I am not too familiar with these wheels. Do you think my TPMS will bolt right up or will I have to get some kind of adaptor kit (like iforged adaptors) to make it work?

Damn that's expensive. I wish had $2500 to spend on rims.

I wish someone would just give me $2500(college fund).

The TPMS won't fit on the rims. You will need to get the Iforged adapter in order to mount the sensor. $90 for a set of adapter.

Also, I highly recommended you to get 245/35/19 tires all around. You don't even have to roll the fender if you go with that size. There is no point of running 265 at rear on a fwd car. You are just wasting money and getting more trouble on yourself. You will need to roll your fender and it might still rub if you rear doesn't have enough negative camber.

don5504

Thank you for the advice. I will probably just go with the 265's in the rear anyway and roll the rear fenders if need be. I have decided this car is more for looks anyways maybe the whole vip look is the direction I will take this car. So I have come to the conclusion that if I truely want to go fast I will just have to get a 2nd car.

don5504

Btw are you sure that running a larger tire than a 245 will result in rubbing? I only plan a mild drop of maybe an inch or an inch and a half.

terry919

Might or might not.... it really depended on the camber after you drop the car. 255 will be fine, but I am not sure about 265. Also, you should go with smaller tire and shoot for the stretch tire look if you wanted to get the vip look.

don5504

Ahh then maybe I will run 235's up front and 245's or 255's in the rear. I will check with my local tire guys to see if they will let me try some 265's 1st and let me return them if they don't fit. If they wont' let me swap them out I just have to get the right size the 1st time around and go smaller.

D

don5504

Also the most negative camber I would run is probably -1 degrees.

don5504

Well they arrived today. Now I just have to get some tpms adaptors and tires.

It seems like every wheel company is making mesh wheels that look exactly like that these days. Tenzo, BBS, Volk, etc...

ok just for the record... 265 with a +42 offset WILL NOT RUB

don5504

Which adaptors should I get?

TheModCity is the only place I found that carries them but they say I need the bracket.

There is a link to them I thought the 1st picture would be the ones I needed but am I wrong?

don5504

Nevermind I found the right ones and they are $75 shipped.

i just put a set of 20s on my 08 and found a perfect tire fit 225/30/20. now i need a TPMS sensor that will work in the 20 or a good bypass for the system all together any ideas?

don5504

Ok I have the 265/30/19 tires for the rear already now I wonder if I should go with 235 or 245 up front. I am thinking 245 to keep both ends closer than further part in size. Anyways opinions would be nice.

D

don5504

Who knows maybe even 255/30's up front just can't decide on the fronts.
