Talking Ordered my wheels today

I've got a Brickyard touring 5AT and I decided (after about 2 weeks of looking and calling vendors) to get Axis Seven Mods 19 x 8 in silver, with a 35 offset all the way around. I'm getting them from CBwheels.com.
The package comes with toyo FZ4 235/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear, for 2,032 to the door. They should be here by 4/28, and I'll try to post pictures.
I'm also getting my Gruppe-S Nismo replica wing painted and installed, and should have the car back tomorrow. I'll post impressions.
Man, I need to stop spending money on this car, but I'm having so much fun with it

congrats, the wheels will look good.

BTW, you might want to reconsider the Tire size, you should get 245/35 for the FRONTS and 275/35 (or 255/40s or something like that) for the rears.

Hey rodH, thanks for the reply. Could you state the reasons for changing the tire size. I'm pretty much new to buying wheels and tires and would appreciate the info. Any info would be appreciated. If I need to I will call tomorrow and change the tire size. Thanks in advance.

Well, I changed my mind. I kept the same wheel setup, but upgraded tires to 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 toyo T1S. Increased price by 400.00. Can't wait

wait? you kept the 8" width for 275/30 rears? the tires are gonna bulge on the sides bigtime...when i had 8.5" rears on my supra i could only get 265's and the bulge on that was pushing it. I don't know

Well, I found the weight for the axis seven 19 x 8, which was 24.3 lbs. Couldn't find the weight for the seven mods, I would think they would be pretty close. I'll keep looking and share whatever info I find.
As far as the sidewalls bulging, man that would suck. I guess I'll know in a couple of days. The guy that sold me the package has sold that setup before without problems (so he said).

I've got the same setup on order except I'm going with a 20x10 for the rear with a 285/30/20. This gives a full 4" lip which looks sick IMO. I opted for B'stone SO-3's. Best of luck with your new shoes!

i was going to go with 285/30/20 but vince with iforged told me to go with 275 so that i don't rub in the rear. i would like to go with 285 though.

Oddly, I measured my sevens the other day just for the heck of it. I honeslty think they are at LEAST 8.5" wide if not 9". Maybe they goofed, I dunno.

Regardless, I know i could have gone wider then a 255 cause there is 0 bulge whatsoever.

Tampabay, DID YOU EVER GET THE WHEEL SPACERS? IF SO DID IT COME WITH BOLTS
