So i picked up a set of wheels over the weekend from a local member Harvey (G35_FTMFW) and I cant wait to put them on my car.
They are SSR Type F wheels and the specs are 19 x 8.5 +22 and 19 x 9.5 +22. The wheels are insanely light, im very happy

Diego (VossengG37S) recommended that I run Ventus V12, 235/35/19 for the fronts and 265/30/19 for the rears. Im probably going
to end up getting that but I would appreciate some more input. Do you guys have any more recommendations of size and brand I
should be going with?

Btw the car is dropped on eibach pro kit, Thanks!

 

Nice wheel, don't listen to Diego he doesnt know anything. Lol jk those are a good size and brand too

 

Wait no, for the rear you might need a 265/35 cause it's a 19. Don't get a 30

 

If you dont hurry up and buy the freaking tires and mount these i will permanently and indefinitely be cutting you off my friends list! effective immediately!

 

I think you should put more meatier tires on there if you're only on Eibachs.

I say 245/35 and 275/30

You can go to tire rack.com and look at the specs sheet on the size of tires. It will give you the overall diameter of the tires.

265/30 has a diameter of 25.3"
275/30.......25.6"
235/35.......25.5"
245/35......25.8"

 

YES. I thought I saw SSR in your sig yesterday. Welcome to the SSR club, bro!

FWIW I can't really help you with tire sizes, but I love my Ventus V12's. They're an all around good tire. Cheap, too.

 

I like the wheels, can't wait to see em mounted. I run Toyo Proxes PR1, I like them, good grip, really good in rain. I agree, go with a meatier tire.

 

Hahaha thanks man

lol patience!

Thanks guys for the input. Im leaning towards a meatier tire too.

Haha thanks man glad to join! Im honestly amazed at the quality and lightness of this wheel.

 

First off, sick wheels!

Secondly, I'm running almost the exact same set-up (I'm a bit more aggressive with a 10.5" wheel in the rear and 9.5" in the front), and honestly, not to **** on your parade, but I think it might look off on an Eibach drop...

As for tires, definitely go with something meatier. I am running 275/35 in the rear and 255/40 in the front and I am lower than an Eibach drop.

 

You got some photos? Put em on imageshack so I can see them, they block photobucket here.

 

I knew you were gonna like the wheels!

No parade sh!tting taken haha. Thats exactly why i made this thread to get input from people who know what they're talking about

As far as tires i saw your set up and i love it. Exactly the look im going for. Do you think i should go for 255/40 and 275/35 as well?

 

Thanks for the pics, they look awesome! Sometimes I wish I'd stuck with 19's.
Get that s**t mounted!

 

Yeah, those are definitely some hott wheels. Big thumbs up from me!

As far as the tire sizes, I would probably do a 245/40 and a 265/35 on that set-up. To be honest, if I had to do my own set-up over again, that is likely what I'd do. Since your wheels are 1" smaller in width, I would say that set-up would be almost perfect.

A +22 offset is moderately aggressive for our cars. So, my only concern, with a subtle drop like Eibach, is that instead of sitting flush with a little camber, the car won't be low enough to run a lot of negative camber so your tires would sit more square and poke a little. You know what I mean? Obviously, I don't know because I haven't seen it yet. However, considering the less aggressive widths you'll be running, I actually think you may be able to pull it off nicely.

I'm looking forward to seeing this...

 

SSR's are sweet. Had a set of integrals back in the late 90's. Great proven brand.

 

Great call Bill. That is the setup to rock!
