***UPDATED 5/11/09...PIX ON P.2***

Whoo hoo!!! Finally getting my wheels soon! I wanted to thank DPE and Ryan for all the work they put in.

They said there was a problem with a wheel and had to re-chrome it. So it will cure over the weekend and be shipped over next week. Total wait time was a little over a month.

I'm already loving the look! The only thing I wish I could change is the lip size. They said since the sedan doesn't have as big a space as the coupe, and if I wanted the wheels to sit flush with the fender, I could only get a 2 1/2" lip for the rears. The fronts will only have about an inch lip. =(

Fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x10. Ryan recommended me to get Toyos because Toyos generally run thinner than other brands. This is to avoid any rubbing. Regarding the rear tires, he said a 275/35/19 Toyo was about 3/4" thinner than a Yokohama of the same spec.

Anyone with a sedan with 10" wide wheels in the rear have any problems with rubbing? I am not planning on dropping my car so I think I should be fine with any brand "275/35/19" tire.

 

wow very nice!!

i like those..

 

SICK! Cant Wait to see them installed!

 

Unless you know the offset of your wheels, it really does not matter. There is a lot more to it than the width of the wheel. Anything over a +45 on a 10" wheel should be pretty safe at factory camber specs as far as rubbing goes. The lower the offset, the better chance of rubbing. You can also gain clearance with more negative camber (which you will not have if you do not plan to lower). The fact that you are not lowered should help too.

The wheels look great. I can't wait to see them on.

 

Very nice wheels! Did you get the signature series caps too?

 

acutally I think you could have gone lower offset and run a 225/255 set up.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will have no rubbing issues with the outer fender since I'm not lowering it. The rubbing may occur on the inner wheelwell/suspension. Do you think any 275/35 brand tire will clear?

That's a dope-azZ avatar by the way! Haa! How'd you get the wheels to look like they're spinning?

Do they have different caps for the Signature, GT/LS, and R series? I have attached the cap they said they're giving me. Do you know which one it is?

 

If you are stock height you are not going to have an issue.

Do you know the offsets?

 

No idea -- DPE does not disclose that info. =/

All I requested was that I was not planning on lowering my car and to create not-too-aggressive offsets. I understand with a lowered car, you would need more aggressive offsets because the wheels camber and "tuck in". I did not want my wheels to stick out too much, so I told them I wanted a more conservative look. Personally, I'd rather have the wheels a bit in than stick out past the fender.

So you're saying since I am not lowering my car, my tires should clear the inner wheelwell (toward the suspension) as well as the outer fender?

 

That sucks about the lips in the back....my rear is almost 4.5" haha. Will still look good though

 

Yep, those are the signature series caps. Very nice

 

If the offsets are right, there is no reason you can't go to 285 in the back lowered or not. The chrome they use is VERY durable.

Remeber to get lug nuts. The stock ones will NOT work!

 

Nice wheels, those are going to look sickkkk

 

Wheels look good mate, need to see pics of them on the car

 

Nice wheels, but it might look small on your car. I bought 19" DPE's with a lip and it looked like 18" wheels. A drop will help make it look larger.
