I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on my first set of wheels ever. I just don't know anything about them. Bolt pattern, Offsets, Tire size, etc..... Can anyone chime in and help me out. I'm going through WheelsNext. I'm going to purchase the Tenzo Type M Version 1 Black w/red lip. I'm going staggered 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 10 rear. The tires I chose are Falken Fk-452 - 245/35/19 front and 245/40/19 rear. I've heard good things about these tires but I know nothing about tire sizes and stretching and all that. Is this a good size for the rims? They were just one of the options on the website. Another thing is Offsets. There are a bunch of options I guess??? WheelsNext doesn't specify Offset when you're ordering them. I found these numbers from the Tenzo website. 19x8.5 - 5x100/114.3 - 45 - 25.4 //// 19x8.5 - 5x112/114.3 - 45 - 25.4 //// 19x8.5 - 5x114.3 - 17 - 25.4 //// 19x10 - 5x114.3 - 22 - 28.4
The numbers are the Wheel size, Bolt pattern, Offset, and weight. I don't know which to choose. I know nothing about Offsets. I would really really appreciate some help with this.
Here is what the wheels look like.

Thanks again guys!!!

 

19x8.5 is wayyyyy too small in the front.. You'll be hella tucked once when you lower your car. I'd said go with a 9.5 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear. That'll give it a nice flush stance, of course offsets play an important factor as well. Good luck on buying your first set of wheels. I still remember when I bought my first set of wheels off from an NSX lol. If you're interested, I am selling a set of wheels check it out.

 

Thanks jlo, but that is too rich for my blood. They only come in the sizes I refer to in the OP. Would the 17 offset make a difference in the 19 x 8.5??? I don't know what the Offset does. Thanks again.

 

+15 to +20 offset perhaps ...and I would stick with 18's but wider in front/rear like jlo suggested below. Tires are cheaper as well..

Still looks awesome with a decent drop..IMO (w/18s)

These are the sizes for this wheel. So what would you suggest? Not getting these wheels would be one suggestion I know. I wonder why they don't make these wheels wider?

 

It seems that the whole line of Tenzo wheels only come in one size for 18's. 18x8. One wheel actually comes with 18x9 but I don't like it. This sucks!

 

They're designed to fit as many makes/models as possible. Not every single car can fit a 20x11 wheel, so they make a more universal size.

Go with the 19x8.5 +17 & 19x10 +22.

You might want to get a slightly wider tire in the rear...perhaps a 265 or 275.

 

Congratulations! nice first set!

 

Okay. I think I may just go with TSW Snetterton 18x9.5 all the way around. So I can rotate them. Good call on the tire price Acidjake. What do you think about this tire size for these wheels? 245/45/18.

 

Well you've seen my wheels and I have Linea Corse wheels (replicas, so what!)and specs are:

Wheels: Linea Corse DYNA in custom Gloss Black 19x8.5 +15, 19x10 +20
Tire Specs: Falken FK452 245/35/19 Front, 275/35/19 Rear

C'mon I need a twin in a different color that can rock the silver or hyperblack colored wheels, it would look awesome on your car!

Damn those do look awesome!!! Okay I will ask the WheelsDude about them. Do they come with lugs or do I have to buy them? Thanks Dom! Oh by the way I bought the sentimentbydesign wires you have. They should get to me Thursday or next week!

 

Hey Domenic, What lugs do you have? Do the wheels come with center caps?
Thanks!

 

Here are my specs...
*Volk GT-F Silver 19x9.5 (+17) F, 19x10.5 (+24) R
*Falken FK452 245-35-19 F, 275-35-19 R

and here are some pics to give you an idea of the offsets, size etc.

Actually, if you interested, I wouldn't mind selling my set (wheels/tires/tuner lugs/locks/tpms sensors included).

The vendors here usually get you better rates than just buying off of some website.

 

Good deal! Let me know when you get the wires installed! And do check out yash's wheels, those are sweet volks!


I have black Muteki Spline Drive Lugs. Yes, the wheels come with center caps. I painted my center caps black to match the wheels when I got them powder coated. I have a chrome set of spline drive lugs if you're interested if you get your wheels.
