Any help with tire size you guys can give would be GREAT!

I do not think I will get any stretch for a 245/275 setup.
can not help without wheel widths for fronts and rears.

F: 19 x ?
R: 19 x ?

My car is hardly considered low on Sportlines.

Fixed in bold..

Get coilovers first, otherwise it will look terrible.

Just do +22 9.5/10.5 with 245/275 if you plan to stick with sportlines.

OMFG!!!

Is he selling those rims? The would look pure sex on my car! I am trying to complete my setup with suspension and rims. Since going widebody, I am seriously lacking. Went back to stock suspension since I wasn't sure how low the kit would be. Stock suspension would give me a baseline to work off of instead of going from the Tein springs I had.
Here is a pick now. Still trying to figure out, should i go bags to get it really low or go with a stiff suspension. This is not my DD so i dont have to worry about getting all over the place.




Unfortunately I am in Afghanistan right now so I couldn't do anything anyway.

hmmmmm how big are his tires? looks awkwardly high. tucking rim would make it look 18773x nicer.

This is probably a noob question but how much PSI do you put in your tires? I have 18x10.5 245/40 all the way around and the tire says 51 PSI is max. Right now I have 42 PSI for the rear and 40 PSI for the fronts. Should I go higher?

Even without stretching PSI is too high...

May be for cheap drifting but dangerous

I'm pretty sure OEM specs don't apply to stretched tires lol. I've read people running from 30 psi all the way up to 50.

Are you sure its too high? Usually stretched tires need a higher PSI.. I searched the thread and read that Edafe runs 40-43 PSI all the way around usually. I mean my ride quality isn't bad at all I actually kind of like it after pumping them up. Not as much bounce as before.

Stretched tires are different. 40-45 should be fine.

^ Thanks! Should I run the same all the way around? I am running a square set up... but camber is obviously different. I'm doing 40/42

Thanks for such a helpful post... I understand it will be hardly low... I didn't post that in here hence the "thread merged" post under mine...

Also here is a photo of +12 on sportlines...

Not so sure of it looking terrible...

*also sorry for posting this photo in here, Just proving a point... This car is not nearly low enough to deserve a post here...

Your picture proves nothing. Nice looking car, but wheel fitment is non existent.

With springs a fatter tire setup would suit you better than stretch. Your call at the end of the day, but you will not achieve proper fitment (in this thread) without coilovers.

I only speak from experience, as I own the same springs.

What tire size do you think is on the car above?
