One thing I will say is that 255s in the front and 285s in the rear on these cars is killer and look beautiful, fit perfectly. That size tire was made for these cars.
yeah that ill do that in a bit. i still have to get more stuff together before i can drive the car lol

Cake, can you post a full pic of the car?

I'm interested to see what they look like. I've seen other G's run spacers on the OEM Rays. I'm thinking of doing that for a cheaper option.

You know you could make money from this. Simply sell the set you have for a small fee (including the price of widening the wheels) plus another set of factory wheels.

i doubt people would be willing to pay like 1500 for these wheels.

justice, it just looks normal until you see it from the back. its 20mm up front and 25mm in rear

Looks good bro, without doing that custom work, do you think 255/40 would work on the regular Rays? I wanna go 255 all the way around on my X!

Factory Ray's are 19x8 and 19x8.5 front and rear respectively. In order to run 255s all around you'll need 19x8.5s all around since your car is awd. The factory rears are 245s so 255s will work.
