Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

Baumer beat me to it but I just got some put on my car a couple of weeks ago.

19 x 8.5 front +21 mm (245 35 19) Michellin Pilot Sport A/S
19 x 9.5 rear +23 mm (275 35 19)

Got them from Revhighonline. They were in stock and at my door in less than 24 hours.

Re: Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

Perfect fit. There's probably 3 or 4 mm of clearance.

Re: Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

I think the orange lenses go great with the Brembos. Not.

You're not the first one to suggest the clear corners. It's on my "to do" list.

Re: Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

Very nice!!! Something I would like to see, and maybe others too, is....how much lip do you have on the rims? You can kinda see it from your second pic but maybe a closer up shot of the rims at an angle (front and back) to give us a good idea of how much lip those offsets will give. If its too much trouble, then dont, but, i would love to see it.

Re: Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

MEGA: I think the wheels were about 2400 and the tires were another 1400. I could've gotten tires a lot cheaper but I wanted quiet tires with decent tread life so it was either the Michellins or the new Eagle F1. They don't make the Eagle in a 275/35/19 so I went Michellin.

Evolution: I'll take a pic when I get home tonight. The rear is 3-4".

Re: Black Coupe with Volk SF Challenge Gunmetal

Your car looks great Russ!! Congrats!!
I actually wanted to get the Pilot A/S but the price tag was a little to much for me. I'd like to see how the tread life is compared to my Dunlop S9000's.
I'm looking forward to getting my Greddy front end in and a few weeks - spice the car up a little more!

MAN YOUR CAR LOOKS SOO SHINNY. How did you get it to look like that? Please do tell. It looks like a wet look.

Also the wheels look hot. How wide are u running in the back?
