Pics of my Gram Light 57F-Pros 19x10.5 and 19x9.5

I got my rims yesterday and decided to post them before and after I put them on the car. But here they are!

The size is 19x9.5 front and and 19x10.5 rear. The 10.5 has a 4" lip and the 9.5 has about 3" lip.

Here is the pic of just the rear 19x10.5

Last pic of rear.

I also have the Bridgestone S-03s sitting at home. 245/35/19 for the front and 285/30/19 for the rears. I will mount them on Friday on the car and send some pics...

Like your rims very much, however, maybe I'm sticking my nose where you don't want it, but - your giving up the stagger. Both your front and rears will have the same OD. According to the Bridgestone spec sheet, 275/35 would be the correct rear tire for your application. Also the difference in tread width is only .3" (10.5" vs. 10.2") IMO, it's most important to retain the stagger.

Re: Pics of my Gram Light 57F-Pros 19x10.5 and 19x9.5

Fully understood and I knew what I was getting into. What I mainly wanted was the huge lip on the front and rear, this is the reason I went with very aggressive offsets that will require me to roll my rear fenders.

As for the 285/30s I wanted to go with 285 this time. The problem that there were not many choices for the 285/35/19, only Falken and Continental. I wanted to get it as close as possible with a really nice set of tires like Toyo or Bridgestones. Plus I did want to the tires to flush with the lip of the rim, not bend in.
The problem was that Bridgestone only carries 285/30 for the S0-3s. My Speedometer will be at little off by about 2mph and the diameter will have about a 1" difference from stock 245/45/18. I didn't want to wait for Toyo T1-S for the 275/35/19 for a couple months either. But thank you for understanding though and bring a concern we all needed to know.

I'll weigh them again to make sure cuz my lil bro weighed them for me and he said it was too big for the scale.

If you want it done right, do it yourself... =P

Re: Pics of my Gram Light 57F-Pros 19x10.5 and 19x9.5

Damn!!! Those will look so clean on ur coupe. Can I ask how much did it cost u? But only one thing gotta becareful, ur front wheels 19x9.5 on a SO3 245? The lip will stick out from the tire a bit much. Cuz i got 20x9 mounted on the same series tire and the lip is wider than the tire. And u have 9.5, gotta watch out for those curbs man... But its good, as long as it looks good...

A little hint for your brother. Have him weigh himself with and without one of the rims in his hand and then subtract the difference
