New Rims Just came in and then zaino'd
I currently am running on 18x8.5 +50 TE37s, but with the horsepower I am pushing, I need 9.5 in the rear to run bigger rubber. So I went ahead and got the exact same rim in 19x8.5+43 up front and 19x9.5+43 in the rear. My new rubber should be in tomorrow.
RE050A PP 245/35/19 up front and 275/30/19 in the rear.
Can't wait to get em mounted up and fitted. I don't think I will have any problems with this setup, as it is the exact same as Mantis was running.
Watch out for a F/S thread if anyone is looking for a good deal on TE37s with decent rubber.

The hotness! I can't wait to see them on. Weigh them before you mount tires, if you can.
Send me a PM when you're ready to sell. I may have a few parties interested.

The RE050As are pretty sticky. I could have went with RE-01Rs, but I would prefer to not have to change my tires every 6 months. I thought about PS2s but if I was to seriously consider those, I would have just got the RE-01Rs. Keep in mind this is a street car... that occasionally sees the track, but not with me volks. I prefer cheap old 17" FN01Rs for track use (my neighbor and I share a pair right now).
The rims by themselves (old ones) weight about 18lbs using my not super accurate scale. The new 19s are about 21.
