275/35/19 in the front and lowered = bad news

Yes that will fit with rolled fenders and shaved bumper tabs in the rear. You can either get 275/35 or 275/30; 35 is quite a bit taller than stock so I wouldn't put the wheels on until your car is lowered, otherwise it will be a 4x4.

Are you referring to tire size or wheel size?
if the 18" rims would look and go better than ill do that |
Alright so,
I have 2 choices so far for rims choice 1 : rota torque's 18x9.5 +20 choice 2: rota boost 18x10 + 35 I got these down but I'm a noob with tire specs, which would you choose and what tire specs do you guys recommend? |
thanks ross for your input!

both. since i wouldnt be lowering it until the winter because i ride my bike as a daily driver back home.
if the 18" rims would look and go better than ill do that I had 19x9 +40 with 245/35/19 on my rx8 with stock suspension and it looked ok. Looked 100 times better with coilovers and 15mm spacers all around. I dont think it would have looked good though with the spacers and no drop though. I guess what I'm saying is that if you want aggressive wheels, you have to have coilovers for it to look good. If you hardly drive your 8, then I suggest saving up for both coils and wheels and get them together. |

It's not the diameter of the wheel that's the issue, it's the diameter of the tire.

Also, and suggestions on the coils? i.e brand and type thanks alot for your help i really appreciate it i found this pic in another thread with the rims i want. This is what i would like my car to look and sit Attachment 247553 |
Those are the forgestar f14's in 18x10 +40 Im guessing. Maybe has racing beat springs or some other medium size drop spring.
19x10 +40 with 265/35/19 would look good I think, even while stock (though it will look MUCH better lowered - also have to roll fenders) Check out the thread in this section on the powertrix coils, seems to be a good deal. |
265/30/19

Ok so noob question on tire size... I have the stock 18's and run 245/40/18's... just found a hell of a deal on 275/40/18's will these clear front and back?
|
Do you happen to own a mustang?
|
thats a no go captain
|
What is the widest that I can go on the stock rims?
|
255 ish, 275 will fit too but you have a higher chance of the tire somehow failing
|
thinking about getting some 18x9.0 and running them with a spring drop. maybe the tien s tech or tanabe GF.
tanabe 1.4"-1.2" tien 1.4"- 0.7" (i think) anyways what would be a good offset for this set up. looking for a nice flush look, i was thinking maybe +30 ish? and a good tire size? nothing crazy, just whatever would fit. maybe 245/35-18 i have a good offer on the tanabe's but i wish the rear end drop was less, it already seems like the back end sags a bit. anybody you know running a set up similar to what i suggested that could PM me a pic of their car? thanks for any help! |
18x9 +25 with 245/40 would be a good combo. Only have to roll rear fenders.
|
You will wish the teins lowered the rear more. I've heard that from multiple people.

Ok, I really appreciate the help. I will go with the tanabe springs than. Is rolling the fenders something you would suggest a trained personal do? I'm good with my hands and rather mechanical, I have read a lot of DIY on it and seems rather simple. Or it one of those "harder than it looks" things.
|
not at all, just get your hands on a fender roller and take your time USE A HEAT GUN
they will turn out great :) |
