Sup guys, i just got these wheels and im kinda disapointed in how they looked on the car. I wasnt sure wat it was. SF Challenge 19x9.5/10.5+23 all around. Here were issues i found
1. Tires were 265/35/19 front and 285/35/19
2. The color didnt seem to go well with the brickyard (could be the tires being so fat making it look less attractive?) Front tires were as tall as the rears
3. The tires and 19s raised my car up well over 1''.
All in all they looked like them ghetto fabolous wheels Didnt even look like a sports car anymore. I love these wheels, and loved them when i first saw them in pics but i cant get over how huge they looked on my car. These are ways i plan to fix this
1. Already ordered Veilside V1 front lip (will be painted matte black)
2. Order 235/35/19 tires for front then move the 265/35/19 out back(how big of a difference will this make?)
3. Get new coilovers to slam the car even more (stance) Last resort
4. ORRRR!!! Just trade these for something else?? Last resort

Sorry i dont have pics of them on the car since i dont have a camera (and the fact that i took em off the car) but here they are on different Zs. If someone can maybe photoshop them brickyard that would be great. That will cancel out the color match situation.

Would be better with photos of your car.

 

ya i know sorry, i was so sure that i was gonna just trade these but after i look at em more off the car the more i think to myself that its probly something else making it look bad on my car. But to you color experts you guys think RMC goes with Brickyard?

 

^I think RMC would look great on brickyard! But pics of you car would help.

 

we'll get some pics tomorrow posted up.

 

I need some skinnier tires

does 235/35/19 front and 265/35/19 sound right? I know its a stretch but im talking about matching wise front and rear? Thanks!!!

Oh and Zealous i think ill use those rays lug nuts from Will lol. Get em!

 

Maybe try a 245 or 255 upfront?

 

eh i prefer more of a stretch look. Ima move the fronts to the back and get 235/35 up front.

Heres a pic of the exact wheels, look how fat the tires are especially the fronts.

 

Looks fine, just needs a drop. The tires are the proper height , same as stock height , fill the wheel wells just fine. Just get rid of the gap.

If you really want smaller tires , just run the 265's in the back and 245/35's up front. If you do that you will really need spacers and a drop.

 

235 will be a pain on a 9.5 rim, especially a nice volk wheel. Good luck with that.

 

i got 10mm spacers all around. And i guess ill have to go with 245 then.

 

JPE22 - its too bad I really like the wheels (wanna trade?) I have 245/35 and 275/35 19's on 9 & 10" P45s (+20). Really liked the way they turned out with slight stretch, thin side wall, and sizes that do not affect TPMS. Also, I did install Eibach Pro which lowered 1". Hope it works out.

 

no thanks, i am lowered on buddyclub coilovers. You guys think im low enough to pull these wheels off? Like i said i have the veilside lip coming soon to help w/ the 4x4 stance i had before along with skinnier tires.

 

I really think that RMC looks good on BrickY. I can honestly say they look better then the nismo rims you currently have on there.

 

with the skinnier tires you will really need to lower it , they will fill the gap less and make the car look more like a 4x4. Just drop it , you already have a great tire setup on it now. BTW those tires should not have raised you car at all , unless you were running civic sized tires on it before.

 

from the nismo rims 18x8.5/9.5 with 255/35 and 285/35 going to 19x9.5/10.5 with 265/35 and 285/35 it did in fact race my car. My front bumper used to be slammed, after i put the wheels on the car looked like roller skates.

 

+Alot

Those wheels pictured look like they have perfect size tires.

Once you drop, it will look amazing and you will be glad you kept tires.

DONT go with 235 front 265... your gonna get a HUGE stretch look.

 

These are 235/35 and 265/35. I think they look perfect, not too stretched. Plus with my current setup now with the 10mm (which is needed to clear my brembos) i rub like hell. Just normal braking and my fenders sound like theyre about to rip off.

 

<-- too stretched for my taste, and 0% rim protection for those new volks you just bought....but go for it.

 

Your old tires were way off in size , had to look really goofy and not fill out the wheel well arches at all. Both your front and rear tires were 1 inch shorter than they should be for the car (your car came up 1/2 inch with your new tires, and your wheel well gap is also reduced 1/2 with your new tires)

Just drop it, about 1 inch total will be a perfect drop.
