Grrr. . .now I'm that "what wheel!" guy with two questions.

Two questions for y'all:

I kinda like these wheels and they are stinking light. (22 pounds for the 19x9.5s)

Can I fit a 275 or 285 wide tire on a 9.5" wide rim, or what that be too much stress on the sidewall?

Second, does anyone have any recommendations on light weight 19" wheels? (sub 23 pounds?)

I love the stock seven spokes. . .but I missed my opportunity on a ulrtra light 7 spoke 19" wheel. (Stupid weds doesn't make them anymore!)

Thanks everyone!

-andrew

+1

Just decide whether you want more or less rubber, either one will fit.

Drewer. If there's adequate rim protection the choose the one closest to your oem tire diameter.

Why not go 9.5 10.5 since they are offered in those sizes? 9.5/10.5 +22 all around would look sick!

Hmmmm. . .I wanted to do 9/10. . .but wider couldn't hurt.

Outa curiousity, anyone see where I can actually buy these? I checked gruppe-s, memoryfab, performance nissan, everythingg35, themodshop, and no one listed them. . .



And where do they list all the offsets available? The face1 and face2 are different (I call it the flat face versus the sunken face). . .

I'm starting to like these. . .

Specs can be found here, I found it as a tab on the link you provided. You can run face2 front and rear with a 9.5/10.5 +22 setup
