^^ The wheels and rear tires are in stock but the fronts are sold out for the season. If we get any further stock on the fronts it wouldn't be until start of Jan.

Search Rims by Size

Hi Neal,

Question 1: Why does your site not allow rims to searched by size (just like for tires)? Unless people are looking for OEM size rims it's difficult to find wheels for specific modified set-ups. I've found this advanced search function on a few other sites where you can specify diameter, width, offset (important) and finish and it's very helpful. Will you be adding this advanced search function anytime soon?

Question 2: What offset (or range of offsets) can I run with this set-up with no rubbing?
- 2006 G35 6MT Coupe
- Stock suspension & brakes
- Tires: 255/35/19 F & 285/35/19 R
- Desired Rim Size: 19x9 F & 19x10 R

Thanks!

Welcome!

I am waiting for my new xxr 521s to arrive, they are 18x8.5 and 18x10. Can you help me choose a good tire combo?

I was thinking about 225 45 and 245 45.

I am a bit worried that because the wheel has step lip, I may end up with a weird look and that maybe larger tires would help the wheels look larger.

Thanks!

Options on tires for wheels

Hey how's it going? I was hoping you could help me out with some tire sizes? I just got a set of staggered wheels 19x9+21, and 19x10+20, and would like to know what are my options for tire sizes? I have seen a lot of people on the forum like to run 245/35, and 275/35, but how would a 40 series set up work out? Or are those my best options? Would like to keep a lil rubber between the floor and rim to avoid damaging. What would be my best options? I am lowered on Tein CS with camber kits front and rear... I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you

There's much more that goes into wheel fitment that people think. With the wide variety of brake fitments, requirements for proper lug nut engagement, center bore sizes, how much weight the wheel can carry, etc it's a bit more involved than a bolt pattern, offset and such. You might find a fitment that fits, but is it safe? All the specs you need could be correct but may get half the lug engagement you need and the wheel falls off the car. It keeps us sleeping better at night knowing our customers are on proper safe fitments for the wide variety of wheels we have to choose from. I'd rather have someone decide not to buy from us because we don't have what they are looking for that force a fitment we can't confirm is safe in the long term.

Majority of our 19" wheels are going to be 8.5" front with around a 35mm offset, rears a 10" with a 22mm offset.

The 245's are way too narrow for a 10" wheel. Probably best size combo for those wide a wheels would be 245/40 and 275/40. Could also use a 265/40 out back. Assuming this is a coupe?

The sizes you mentioned are spot on. A 40 series would be a bit too tall so I wouldn't recommend that. Many using the 245/275's with great luck.

Sorry, we do not carry Nitto tires.
