lol, I originally put 225/45 in the post but looked at Tire Rack and another site, they both had 225/50 as OEM so I edited my post. Oh well. Thank you for the info though, I greatly appreciate it.

225/50 would be more correct for the 17" OEM wheels I believe?

Raderwerks are great wheels.

Our cars are 5x114.3 these won't fit. You could either run adapters or run wobble bolts.

The adapters will push them out too far, wobble bolts are sketchy.

Not sure I understand that question...

Are you asking if you can put OEM 19" coupe wheels onto your coupe that came with OEM 18" wheels?

If that's the question, then yes you can, direct bolt on.

Suspension won't have anything to do with your wheels.

Welcome to the forum!

Personally, not a fan of the spokes on the Miros. I don't like VMR style wheels.

Question: I just ordered some Varrstoen 2.2.2 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +12. This is what was recomended to me by the shop because he said the +0 are only for people who really know what they're doing. the +12's are back ordered til who know's when. They have the +0's in stock. How much more work is it to get these to work on my car? Or what more will I have to do to get these to fit well and driveable? Thanks for the feedback in advance! BTW...I drive an 05 coupe.

i think all thats needed to fit the +0 in those wheels are a flat fender roll, stretched tires..most run something like a 225 or 235/35 front and 255/35 rear..can get camber kits to dial it in perfectly .im sure some roll on natural camber and probably just get toe set to zero..and i say definitely a low drop..coilovers ftw...

4dgs will set any of my info straight if im wrong.

Thanks for the response bro. One more thing...What do you guys mean by stretched tires? Sorry I'm a retard when it comes to car lingo! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the +0's though.

haha no problem..its alright were all here to help one another. with the wheel specs like 9.5 front and 10.5 with low 20's offset or some teen offsets most G drivers go with 245/35 front tires and 275/35 or 275/30 rear

BUT in order to run +0 with those wheel sizes without rubbing and tearing up your fenders and look proper you have to run smaller tires and negative camber(wheel faces inward toward car)..like 225 front and 255 rear which in turn stretches that smaller tire onto a wider wheel in order to fit. exposing the wheel passed the tire(some stretches are more intense ofcourse just giving examples)

check out this page and youll see what i mean
