19's. Now its just deciding on the size of tire that will fit. I want to use KDW2s on them so its either 235/35 r19 or 245/35 r19, just worried about rubbing in the front with the 245s on a +35 offset.

J8635621 04-03-2009 03:08 PM

so 19x8 +35 with 245/35? You will be fine.

wouls this work?

imput1234 04-05-2009 10:15 AM

Yeah, I would suggest running the rear setup all around, it'll look a lot better.

Bravery 04-05-2009 11:01 AM

would they be bad? there is a listing on craigslist for them 700 with some shitty tires

I was gonna run 17x10 +35's with 255/45's all around until i was told the fenders would still HAVE to be rolled/pulled to fit properly. Rishie recently schooled me in wheel/tire setup 101, (i didnt know shit). If ur cool with rolling fenders then the 265's w/ 17x10 all around would look friggin awesome. Im goin with 17x9 +35's, didnt want to mod the fenders.

Bravery 04-05-2009 11:26 AM

yeah ill roll the fender fr sure. would the difference in offsets in the front 40 be very noticeable compared to the back which is 35?
would a 255 work well all the way around? i am just wondering because it is a pretty good deal,

Bravery 04-05-2009 12:28 PM

offsets
 
how noticeable is it the diff between a 40offset and a 35offset? front and rears

dannobre 04-05-2009 12:51 PM

5mm ;)

Come on people..they are measurements...not rocket science :)

In a 9.5" wheel though it is the difference between a roll and a good fit.......

Bravery 04-05-2009 12:56 PM

i know its 5mm but is it very noticeable when seen on a car.
front 17x9 off 40
rear 17x10 off 35

jones75254 04-05-2009 01:15 PM

Im no wheel expert but just by looking at the math, 5mm is barely noticeable, ur talking about 0.2 inch of difference.

Bravery 04-05-2009 01:23 PM

thanks, any help is greatly appreciated

imput1234 04-05-2009 01:40 PM

The reason I said pic the rear setup all around is because 10" is concave, 9" is not, you can not directly compare the offsets of wheels with different widths.

Bravery 04-05-2009 01:41 PM

i stand corrected because the offset in the front for the wheels im looking at are
f.17x9 OFFSET 35
r.17x10 OFFSET 40

big difference? i just want to make sure evrything will be good

Bravery 04-05-2009 01:43 PM

i saw the wheels and i know what your talking about, i just figure i would do this setup for a little bit since it was a decent price

On page 2 there is a guy with NG 8 with bronze wheel setup pretty much the same as what ur lookin to get. Check em out

Bravery 04-05-2009 01:48 PM

http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/pts/1105623616.html

here's the post and i checked the 5zigen owners page and theres someone with the same look as these. opinion

jones75254 04-05-2009 02:02 PM

I really like the wheels, and thats not a bad price at all. But they DO have some scrapes on em.

If you want black 17x10 +35's all around, Rishie (AutoRnd vendor) had 1 set in stock the last time i checked with him and they were VERY well priced (not far off from what that dude is asking) brand new, you may want to check it out. I owe him the referral:)

Bravery 04-05-2009 02:18 PM

i figure since they are only 30 min from my house it isn't so bad and since they will be my first set i really dont mind but how do i get a hold of him or just the price with shipping.

jones75254 04-05-2009 02:26 PM

PM'd u the info.

Thing is, if u buy the ones in that listing, only the rears will have the cool concave look. Set from Rishie would both have that look and be the same size all around. The 17x9 dont have it.

dannobre 04-05-2009 03:03 PM

Fronts will be in more than the rears...will look OK.. Will they clear the brakes??

Rears will need camber and an aggressive roll to fit though

Bravery 04-05-2009 03:17 PM

i found out the offsets are actually the other way around
f 35
r 40
what do you think?

dannobre 04-05-2009 03:21 PM

That would be better :)
