Why not go GT30? Similar style but a little more bling than the re30

Are you assuming 245x19x35 for front and 275x19x35 ??

For the R888s I'm gonna be running 295x19x30 in the rear so is a +10 still ok??? ....

So the reason that I've decided to go back to a 19" is that after we left fatburger, Pat and I are rolling on the I-90 back towards Bellevue, I'm in 4th at about 70, I floor it and lose traction, effin retarded ... and we all know you should never go full retard ...

That is in 20" sizes with your current tires. GT30's don't come in 19's, if you want 19" then go with the re30's. A +10 won't work with the 295

See above post as to why I'm going back to 19" ...

So, will a 19x11 and 295x30x19 work?? And if so, what kind of offset am I looking at??

Colin, I understand what you're saying about tire selection and going to 19's. However, the RE30 is far from "classy." It's a very racer-looking wheel. You have tons of choices in 19's, including the same Work VS-XX and Work Varianza T1S you were thinking of before.

I like these! I also like that aggressive fitment on the white G.

Indeed, my other train of thought is that if I'm going back to a 19's then I may as well go with something sporty AND I really like the idea of a year limited edition like these REs ...

I also understand that today's opinions are contrary to yesterday's but I'm a creature of whim ...

I'm a big fan of Mag Blue. Pretty exclusive. These two are forged monoblocks, just like the TE/CE/LE/RE

Nismo LMGT4


Gram Lights R57GT


Also available on the TE37, CE28n, RE30, GT30, GT-S, GT-F, SF-Challenge
