chris.. since you're running 19's f14s. would there be ne rub or fender rolling if you're just on the stock sports suspension and ran a 225/255 or even 235/255?

With my F14 19" setup I have no problem with 265's in the back and 225 up front. Stock suspension - for now.

It really all depends on what ET you go with along with brand of tire. If you want a flush look then go with a slightly lower et. There's just TOO many variables to each persons car, ie. lowered, stock suspension, tire sizes, etc. Then throw in what EACH person wants out of these wheels. Then with brands of tires...from my experience from running PS2's, Bridgestones, Falkens, General, Hankooks, and Toyos each one runs a little wider than others. For example, PS2's and Generals are a tad wider than Bridgestone and Toyos. Hankooks and Falkens tend to run on the slimmer side.

But to answer your specific question, you wouldn't rub with those size tires as long as you went with higher ETs and a slimmer tire.

Sifu · 01-24-2010, 09:55 PM

I read through the Apex Gb and they are suggesting 8.5 ET 38 on a 255/35 and a 9.5 ET 62 on a 275/35. The front seems to be a little on the aggressive side and the rears not so much aggressive but seems to work. The car that was running this set up had a 5mm spacer up front along with -2.5 camber and is lowered.

But based on these suggestions and what I have read so far about stock set ups, the ideal STREET set up with NO rubbing would be:
18 x 8.5 +46-48 offset with a 235 and 245(depending what brand of tire)
18 x 9.5 +55-60 offset with a 265 and 275(depending what brand of tire)

What ET's are you guys ordering anyways?

FYI, my set will be my track wheels. The set up I intend to run on my 18x10 ET 25 squared is a 285/35 on all fours with -2.5 to -3.0 camber up front and -1.5 to -2.0 camber in the rear

(granted I'm in an E46)

My car is riding on the stock sports suspension. The offsets were 46 / 56 i believe... Kevin correct me if I'm wrong. Tires are hankook's v12's. 225/40's up front and 255/35's in the rear. No rubbing or any other problems noticed with the set up.

Only thing I kinda regret now is being impatient and not getting the pin stripping

(but i guess it would make the wheels easier to sell w/o em')

Garduna · 02-19-2010, 11:38 PM

Looking good there! Screw the resale difficulties, it would have looked extra dope if you got the pinstripes!

DaveSakky135 · 02-20-2010, 08:36 PM

looking good bro!

modbargains · 02-22-2010, 10:47 AM

THANKS E-MAC! I know they are quick point and shoots but still look really good
