I was thinking 30 offset.

I am pretty sure the bolt pattern is correct, just not sure about the width or off set yet. Once I find out I will let you know.

I am also wondering if they will look weird with stock suspension? Mess my ride height up or anything.

what do you guys think of starting up a thread with pictures of different tires/widths on different sized rims to like show off what different stretches look like.

I can imagine the hate it will generate, but it is really an important component that I don't think most people buying wheels consider when they are thinking about just width/offset.

yeah...some tires have been known to run a lil' more slim and some a lil' thicker in appearance. The stretch on a t1r may look more stretched than say on a Azeni or KDW.

That one thread - The It DID Fit thread - was pretty promising - too bad everybody over looked it

I was thinking of recreating the thread n' monitoring it and posting links to pic's of each fitment that was posted in the thread.

lots of work tho...i'd need to be REALLY bored...

Impossible to say before you give the other info

245/40 with rolled fenders and be pretty low 255/35 or 265/35 is possible if you are very low and run a bit of negative camber. 275/35 has been done but requires a fender pull

so you think the 30mm offset over the 45mm
and do you think the 19" wheels would fit?

19s will work too with the same offsets. 45mm would allow you to run wider tires but would not be as flush with the fenders. Another option is the 19x9.5 in 45 or 35 offset. Those would need a 265/30 or 275/30. 19x9.5 +35 with the wide tires would need a fender roll especially if you are lowered.

I have 40mm offset 19in wheels and 245/35 tires. I was thinking about running a 5mm spacer all around. I am on stec's so I am a tad lower.

I know this will fit, and I am even 83% certain I wouldn't have to roll the fenders.

My question is more along the lines of fitting the 5mm spacers on our studs. Do they fit without needing to change out the studs? I know I never want to even mess with the rear studs

5mm spacers are fine on stock studs. I can't say about rubbing since you didn't say the width

depends on the type of spacers you get

if you get the ichiba v2 the spacers have the studs on them already. You just have to make sure that the hubs of your wheels have the space for the OE studs to fit underneath.

Silvrstreak-ride height will be the same but the ride will be a little stiffer since there will be less tire sidewall. Mpg will go down ever so slightly since the tires will be wider.


Rwd- you won't rub
