Talking Just got my new rims!

I got them in this morning and when I got home, I had the car washed and waxed I would like to thank VodkaRocket for the fast shipping and smooth transaction for these were on his car . I know that the car looks ugly without springs but thats my next mod. Let me know what you think, And I promised myself I wouldn't modify the car until at least 6K and all I could take was 500 miles . All I'm missing is one center cap that I'm picking up on Monday. The rims are HPracing evo's 19x8.5 in the front and 19.9.5 in the rears, 38/offset, F:245/35 R:275/30

Enjoy

Your sedan is clean! the wheels look sweet, but like Malukalu said "rims stick out past body fenders" I usually like the wheels when they tuck

Like Alex said, once you lower the car the camber adjusts the upper part of the tire and it sticks in more so they look even with the lines of the car.

+45 rear offset is more ideal for the rear.


You do know that once you lower it--you are going to have to roll those fender lips right?

I've got seller's remorse. They seem to look better on your car then they did on mine. What kind of tire shine is that?

Thank you for the quick and painless transaction. I can't wait to see your cars progress in the future.

Now since my tires have a little more sidewall than the BFG I did rub slightly stock, and all I did was bend the lip up from 3pm to 1pm position and that was enough to clear it no matter if the car is lowered or not.

No he doesn't with the tires he has on there. If its not rubbing stock it won't rub when lowered especially.

+42 actually works best for offset in the rear of the sedan for a 9.5 wheel.

Looks good. Lower it a bit and you are good to go.

There still may be a chance that he will rub when dropped- I'm not counting on it, but it is certainly a possibility. Dialing in a bit of negative camber will certainly alleviate any troubles.

+43 - +45 would be the best offset in the rear.

Thanks for the love. As of now they don't rub but then again I haven't got on them in a turn or put people in the backseats. Vodka I'm not sure what tire shine that is, all I know is that they put some wax and their tire shine
