Thanks again.


Best,

If you're going with 18's, there is a plethora of options, from street to more track-oriented. 19's limit your field to pick from. Hankook V12s are great for the street, but not much else.

As for the balancing issue, hell if I know You can PM me if you have really specific questions about the wheels.

What about Continentals? I'm getting 19s and thinking of continentals.

Also, what is a good place to get after market parts? I'm looking to get a larger spoiler, a different side air vent, other misc exterior parts.

Appreciate your time.

Tires and Rim Size?

Hi there,

I just ordered the same rims. 19x10 and 19x8.5 with 285/30 and 245/35. Do you recommend another size tire?

Also, do you think I will need to lower the car or will it be okay? I'm trying not to lower it.

Any help would be great. Thanks.


Best,

Andrew

Here's how she looked beforehand:



Today I received a call from both Forgestar and Sonic MS giving me the heads up. Oh?









Centercaps, rings, and bolts were all securely taped inside one of the boxes. Sonic's Hunter machine made quick work of everything. Tires are 245/35F and 275/35R. Now onto the finished product...











I know I'm going to get a few PM's asking me what offset I ordered; to be frank, I forgot and will have to check. I knew in January....I'm just happy I don't have to run spacers anymore!

You should go down a notch to 275/30 on the rear.

We have done dozens of these sets for Cayman guys on the "other" forum and that is the setup we usually run.

If you want to run a 285 - 295 - 305 you can fit the widebody F14 19x11+38mm fitment.

We have these in stock...
