I had them weighed when they were being shipped. The KDW's are really heavy tires and oddly enough the fronts weighed more than the larger rears.

54 lbs for the rears w/ tires, and 55 lbs for the fronts w/ tires

wow, factory 18s are 23 or 24 lbs each i think. tires can't be more than 27lbs for 18s right?

evos are pretty light 19s with tires at 54/55 lbs. hrm... m's wheels are attractive because you can rotate all 4. lip on mesh wheels is pretty seckzy tho. gotta think about it more

Absolutg I'd go with g35tx's wheels only cause I too thought about the m45 wheels through the dealer, But I wanted to be different and have some with more flare and the HPs had that in the form of the lip. The m45 wheels are hot and I think another member has them on there car. Besides look at the great deal he's offering on those wheels and tires.

Not a true statement. We have two member's with 42mm offeset's on 9.5" with 275's that have reported rubbing issues. 45mm remains the standard on 9.5" with a 275 wide tire.

Yea I had mine weighed also. 53 lb for rear and 52 lb for front tires on mine with wheels/tires.

The stock 18s weigh around 48lb with tires.

Really? I have 38mm offset with 9.5 wheels and I had only a slight rub in the rear on the fender. Once I bent the fender inner lip up from 3pm to 1pm angle I had no more rubbing. I can promise whoever gets rims with a 42+ mm offset it will not rub at all. Maybe they were wrong on the offset info?

Some are running 275-35-19s in the rear and some are running 275-30-19s in the rear. I'll bet if you ran 35 series in the back, you'd have more rubbing. This also probably why some report rubbing w/ +42 offset in the back.

Your right. If I had 35 in my rear I would rub badly. 30 is the best if you go lower than 42offset.

Your car and wheels look fantastic. That is the combo I want if I go aftermarket on mine!

Love those wheels. Vodka, why did you sell them. Did you go back to stock?

I've always been a big fan of the Garnet Fire sedans and yours is no exception. Your sedan looks sweet bro. Good work.
