Default Advice on black wheels on a silverstone

I found these two-

Rota SVN- 18"x9" Front & 18"x10" Rear Flat black

http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5747

XXR 521- 18"x8.5" Front & 18"x10" Rear Matte black

http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml

What size tires look really good. 245/40 Front? 275/40 Rear?

I was thinking Eibach prokit 1" drop so no wheel gap.

Would this be a good setup? Won't have issues rubbing?

Anyone else have some other Rims that you recommended that are solid black?

Thanks!

Seems like it would look good to me, not sure about tire rubbing and all that. Love the 370 pic in the second link.

Welcome to the site, wheel questions belong in the wheel/tire sub-forum.

Regarding your question:

1) You can always have a wheel painted black as I and others have done.

2) Another budget-minded option is Enkei

8.5 to 10.0 inch wheels gives you a big selection of potential tires sizes. Your tire specs are conservative, and will work well.

Yes, the OEM RAYS found on the Grand Touring and Nismo and newer Track trims levels are 18X9 in the front and 19X10 in the back.

I'm liking this setup.

Rims-Tenzo-R Type M Version 1 Solid Black.
http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/main.php?page=wheels
19"x8.5" 17 offset (Front)
19"x10" 22 offset (Rear)

Tires- Falken 452.
http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Passenger-Car/FK452-3
245/35/19 (Front)
275/35/19 (Rear)

Lowering springs- Eibach prokit 1" drop all around.
http://performance-suspension.eibach...ookup_products

There's a guy on cardomain has similar setup (except 285 rear tires, & charcoal gunmetal color)-
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3250416

My question is will this setup require front, rear cambers?, rolling rear fender? I'm trying to stay away from doing this while having everything good as far as alignment within OEM spec so tires don't wear funny and not rubbing when going around corners or bumps. I like the 1" drop but if a less drop will prevent this let me know.
