FAQ's: Offsets, pics, Tire Calc, etc...
Guys...this was meant as an informative thread. I dont generally list prices, or quote in a post. PM, Email, or call for quotes. As far as pictures go..everything I have available is in our online car gallery at www.discounttiredirect.com
I just tried to put on my new rims (Volk GT-N) and there's an extra bolt on the rotor that I've never seen before. Is this the alignment pin you were talking about? Will removing the bolt cause any damage?

WHEELS : ENKEI RPF1 18x8.5 F / 18x9.5 R
TIRES : FALKEN GR BETA FK-451 / 245/40ZR-18 Front - 275/40ZR-18 Rear
Installed front wheels without adapter because would not fit with alignment pin. Hopefully reinstalling with spacer/adapter the came in installation kit will fix low-speed roar from front end.

You want to try to maintain the stagger of the stock set up, between 1/2" & 3/4" front to rear, front obviously shorter.

5Zigen, made by 5Zigen...also available through us. Check out www.5zigenusa.com for styles, or www.discounttiredirect.com for what we have in stock on either brand
Method. Do anywhere from a 8-9" up front. Stay low on offset, +25 or so, 245 tires usually ideal. In the rear, 9-10.5 with offsets in the +25 to +35 range. 275 to 295 rear tires.
Has anyone tried using the combonation of :
Front: 245 40 18
Rear: 275 40 18
I am having a hard time finding front stock size of 225 45 18 and someone recommended the aforementioned size. Has anyone tried it? If so, how does it compare to the stock version?
Any advise would help, thanks.
