yea i meant 19"s not 18"s lol here's some pictures of my coupe rays with 225/35 255/40




and here's the front with 10mm spacer. you might get away with 15mm in the front idk about 20mm rear lol that's alot. You'd have to run alot of negative camber or a pull/stretched smaller tire

 

how does the 225 feel? I'm really debating running 215's in the front and 245 in the rear

 

they feel nice i like em but if you wanna run bigger spacers like you said then smaller tires might be better for you so you don't rub

 

Yeah i just don't want to sacrifice breaking etc because the amount of rubber on the ground is so small.

 

just get 225/40, 255/35 with 15 mm front and 10mm rear spacers

 

unless you only care about straight line acceleration, don't run 215 in front... skinny fronts are great for drag racing (low rolling resistance) but it sucks for spirited cornering (and awful for road course or auto cross).

use at least 225 or preferably 245

 

thanks OCG. Yeah i agree i don't want to sacrifice performance for looks all that much.

 

thats my next set up .. 225 rears and 215 fronts .. :-) stretched setup

 

215 seems soooo small haha like civic size. They would stretch great on a wider rim though if thats the look you want

 

I'm going to put them on a 8.5 wheel and a good match for a 225 that I'm going to put on a 9.5 wheel .. donvisto helped me out with a good tire set up for my next look for my car

 

so you are running a 255/40 rear? I am running 255/35...gotta keep rolling diamter the same on the X.

 

^255/35 rear here too. 255/40 rear would be too big and rub

 

I need some driver support

I used a very cheap gun with wrong settings and got some nasty orange peel on my rims. At this point I'm over it and don't wanna spend the time and effort to redo it so I want to make the best out of what I have.

What do you guys think about this. I really like contrasting different shades and glossy aspects of black on my car. So I figured go for a piano black theme with the wheels to add some high gloss.

This is how I want to go about doing it:
-The lip around the wheel will be piano black
-The center cap has ben sanded and will also be piano black while leaving the rest matte black similar to the car.

would this look retarded or what? I'm thinking of painting my calipers a glossy black too

 

the glossier, the more you're gonna have to maintain it to keep it that way. light rains, dust, and all that jazz are just going to **** you off more. i like glossy, though, much more than flat. as for your calipers, idk.

 

It could work. Have you seen Johnnyone's car? It's OB with matte ducts on the Hikkatadori bumper. Looks really good with the matte/gloss contrast.
