I'm planning on getting the Axis Hiros in a couple of days and need some advice. Should I go with 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear tires or 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 with the same size tires. Also what is the best offset for these rims. Also if I order from wheelsnext.com it says that you get free springs. I talked to a guy and he said those are ZEN and its $50 extra for shipping (is that worth it or should I just get them somewhere else). THanks for all your help.

 

I don't know Hiros offset options since they don't list them on their site, but as a good rule of thumb maybe offset in the +20s.

I'd get the 8.5/9.5 combo if you want to be more conservative. If you are going to go 8.5/10.5 you might as well suck it up and just go 9.5/10.5. That all being said I have no idea though, since I don't know what offsets they offer.

Those extra springs deal sounds like a gimmick. I wouldn't throw on any springs called "Zen" or that come "free" with wheel purchase.

 

If your Z is equipped with VDC, Id consider geting 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 as the recommended tire size. The tire size you listed will throw off your VDC and it will enable when you dont want it to. Just an FYI.

 

Don't get 275/30/19 in the rear, 275/35/19 is the right size.

30 profile looks too skinny among other things, including what andy mentioned.

 

that sucks cause that's the package they offer

 

anyone ever deal with wheelsnext.com and know if they can change the tire sizes in the packages.

 

Just ordered the rims. Got the Axis Hiro 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245/35 and 275/35. Thanks for all your help guys. Hopefully will get them by next friday so I'll post some pics.

 

Also how exactly would I transfer the tire pressure sensors. Is this something I can do or should I bring it to a discount tire and if so how much should they charge. (the tires will be mounted and balanced when I get them)
Thanks again

 

uh oh! you have to take the tires off the rims. the sensors are incorporated into the valve stems. when removing make sure you label them i.e., "left front", "right rear," etc. then you will need to remount and balance (because you have added unaccounted for weight). once in u might have to take the car to the dealer to have reprogrammed.
