Tenzo R dc5,Offest and tire size ????
Ok so I am going to be getting a set of dc5's 19's....9 in front ,10 in rear,what is the best offset to run,and I would like to try out at least a 295 on back thinking Toyo 888's ,anyone have any ideas on if a 305 would go ?If so what offset would I need ,now out front im gonna run r1r's I think ...any help would be great ...........Thanks

Looks like the 19's come in 8.5 +20 and 10 +20. And Bumpin is right R888's are overkill and the T1R up front your car is going to handle like ***. Unless your just a straight line kinda person. With those offsets and size you'll be fine with a 265/35 and 285/35... The 20mm stagger in tire sizes is the best handling I have found.

well i went with the 19's cuz i wanted wide in the rear seems most 18s are about 9.5 ,and as far as the power issue im making lil over 4 to the wheels ,i really would like to do the 305 but just from this short stint on here most would tend to think its over kill ,so i will think it through ,umm as far as 18 not so into them i still ride at stock height so 18s look kinda little ya know ,i know kill me for it but i like the bigger look i guess, and to be honest the price is right on the ones im getting ,so back to the question at hand,yes or no ,would a 305 fit??? O ya and yes i do know that the traction issue does tend to be driver error or is it just a case of boost junkie .....I tend to think im a boost junkie...

Seems like you really don't have a clue and your not willing to listen to anyone, so yes it will work, and yes it will look stupid and yes it will handle like **** unless your going in a straight line only.
If you would listen and do your research you will find there are a lot of right priced 18" wheels, and guess what, they even make them in 10.5" rears.

seriously, are you going to track your car with a helmet and everything or just race around town? most here say they track but dont. no offense.
my friend has these wheels, i like them.

Well from you said in the PM, and what you said above. YOU do not want 888's, they are a DOT R compound race tire. That tire will last between 3k to 5k miles on the street, and heat cycle tot he point they get less and less traction every time you drive them.
Just get a quality set of 19x10.5's with an offset in the mid 20 range, then run some 295/30's in the rear. As long as you get a good quality tire, you will be just fine. No , not as much traction as a race tire, but longer lasting and able to be driven on normal street conditions.
