^ Mainly for the looks. I wanted really wide rims/tires at the back. 9.5 is pretty wide i guess lol.

but also cause i want my front wheels to be more tucked in than my rears jkz jkz (LOL referring to your little dispute with mazda_rx804)

Ross_Dawg 03-02-2011 07:58 PM

No worries, 9.5 +22 with 245's will still require rolled fenders all around, shaved tab in rear and probably -1.8 camber

Rotary-RX8 03-02-2011 07:59 PM

^ im alright with that :) :smoker:

J8635621 03-02-2011 08:08 PM

Yea it will look good and be decently aggressive.

Chad D. 03-02-2011 09:04 PM

yep, roll your fenders. that much of a stretch you should be fine. (Im assuming you mean +19 & +31, not negative offsets)

J8635621 03-02-2011 09:45 PM

His name is hellaflushfatlace, so I assume it's a joke

Ross_Dawg 03-02-2011 09:48 PM

LOL, didnt even read where he said he didnt want to roll fenders. Why does everyone think it's a big deal to roll fenders? Takes 1 hour for all 4 and you notice no cosmetic difference.

kingsina420 03-03-2011 04:57 PM

whatsup guys i got work xt7's 18x9.5 +30 all around my car is dropped...from the ground its as high as a coke can maybe alittle higher....i dont know what would be the best tire size to run i was thinking bout doing 255/40/18 all around or 265/35 but is there a better combo for better performance as for turning and etc. also how much fender problems will i be running into, and will it fit?

kingsina420 03-03-2011 04:59 PM

also the tires i want to get is nitto nt05

J8635621 03-03-2011 05:21 PM

Read back a little ways

m1r4g3 03-04-2011 10:04 AM

i am looking at 18x8.75 with either +20 or +35. what tires would look good. i am going for a mild/aggressive look.

Ross_Dawg 03-04-2011 11:04 AM

18x8.75 +20 with 245/40/18 would look really good. Would require rolled fenders though. Aggressive look requires rolled fenders anyway...

california style 03-05-2011 02:25 PM

8.75?? I didnt think that even existed?

STL05 03-05-2011 09:00 PM

18x9.5 +30 offset
245/40/18 F
255/40/18 R

Will I have to roll the fenders? I'm also lowered on tanabe GF210 springs

J8635621 03-05-2011 09:39 PM

245 all around roll fenders

m1r4g3 03-06-2011 09:30 AM

they have 9.75 with +20 and +35, is there any advantage to getting those instead.

J8635621 03-06-2011 10:32 AM

They will be wider and possibly have more concavity/lip.

Hey guys, I just picked up a set of SSR D5Rs from a forum member:

19x9 +45
255/35/19
Lowered on H-techs w/ Tokico D-specs

By themselves I guess I'll be fine, but I was considering adding 20mm spacers to the setup. What will I be looking at in terms of fender modification, if any at all?

Also, anyone know for sure if TPMS works on these wheels? They were originally sold at Tire Rack (which I believe only sells compatible wheels), so I'm hoping so.

Thanks!

J8635621 03-06-2011 01:00 PM

Tires may be too tall and rub the inner fenders when you turn with spacers. Also roll fenders and trim the rear bumper tab. I'd suggest 245/35 instead to get rid of the first part and 15mm spacers since you aren't very low.

Sweet, glad somebody bought Sifu's wheels. If you want to add the spacers, roll your fenders front and rear, shave rear tabs and you should be good to go. A little bit of camber wouldn't hurt either if you still rub.

FYI, I have 19x9 +25 with 245/35/19 but am probably much lower than you and I'm at -1.9 F and -1.8 R camber.
