3 years later, heat from powdercoating orange, monthly autoX's, couple track days a year, all sorts of street driving.. still strong.

 

So when the 18" & 19" 531s come out, i'll be getting on of these two... can't decide though. Which do yall think would look better?

Choice #1:
Gold XXR 531
18x9.5 +20
18x11 +20




ORRRRRR


Chromium Black XXR 531
19x10 +15
19x11 +15




and my car as it sits now:

 

I like the gold more...

 

Gold. I want the platinum ones.

 

I like the gold better too but I would love to have 19s and the widths offsets are perfect.. Wish they'd make the gold in 19"

 

Have you called them to ask if there gonna be offered in 19? I love 18s ESP tire prices

 

they're on nlmotoring.com available for preorder already.. You can see all the sizes that will be available

 

These

 

hmm.. decisions, decisions

 

I'm thinking of going back to 19's myself. But I'm not a fan of those.

 

other pix?

 

Found some XXR 522 18x9.5 all around online. When I was reading about tire sizes on 100 questions it said to do 275/40/18 which is basically the same as 245/45/18's. The latter is what I'm running in the rears on my stock tires right now. The ad also said they would throw in 4 tires (Federal SS595 235/40/18) for only $430 more. My question is, should I just go that route and sale my stock rims and tires or just buy 2 more tires (275/40/18 or 245/45/18) that go with it? I don't want it to look stretched or anything I just want it to look normal. Thanks.

 

245/45/18 isn't the same as 275/40/18.. I think you misunderstood. I think what it was trying to say is they are probably about the same height.

 

They are almost identical.

right.. height wise. but the 275 is still 30mm wider than a 245, correct?

 

true but overall, nearly identical. I'm just asking what I should do here not trying to argue with anyone.

 

if you're asking if you should run 275/40 vs a 245/45.. i would do 275/40.

 

get gold.

 

get some spacers for the rear brrrrrrrrrrr0

 

I have spacers, I need to shorten my lug studs before they can go on.
