Tire Package & Preformance
I am thinking about purchasing the following wheel package:
  • Toyo Proxes T1R Tires - 245/40R19
  • Driv GT Rims - 19x8.5 45mm offset
How would this wheel package affect:
  • Steering
  • Ride Height
  • Braking
*I know the speedometer will be off by 1.8kms.

Finally, what are your thoughts on:
  • Driv GT Rims
  • 19x8.5 or 19x10
  • Toyo Proxes T1R Tires

Although I love the stock rims, they are a bit scratched and require new tires.


Cheers!

I like the tires. I can't say that I really like the rims though.

Have to agree, do not like the wheels. A little too much chrome.

I also agree, not digging the chrome, but it's your move.

Thing the tires are probably good.

depends on how heavy they are, but they sound pretty heavy. Should hurt performance a lot.
