No, powdercoating doesn't fill in rash it will only make the rash black. You will need to have the wheels repaired prior to powder.

However, if you paint them, you can sand them down and put filler into the wheels and then paint over that.

I hope you know what you're doing. You're going to have to stretch to pull off the 0 offset.

If it were me, I'd do 225/35 and 245/35 but you can run a little larger if you'd like (say 235/35 and 255/35)

Are you aware you will need to run negative camber for these specs?

just purchased a set of 20" TSWs and still tryin to figure out what size tires to buy..
front = 8.5 +20
rear = 10 +25
i will be dropped an inch w/ either eibachs or s teins..
i'm thinkin of falken 452, and i don't want to roll my fenders..
my question is: would i have rubbing issues with 255/30/20 in the fronts and 285/30/20 in the rear?

452s are okay at best. Check out Hankook v12s


And no. you wont need to roll your fenders with those tire sizes and that drop

Hi all, I tried searching some for this but my internet at work is miserable so I kinda gave up. So I'm just gonna ask here.

I just bought my 6spd coupe a month ago, it came with a full winter setup and then summer rims with only three tires. Both rear wheels still have tires with about 50% tread left. Im getting ready to switch to the summer setup my question is, is it worth it to buy a 4 set of tires or just get fronts? Is the wear on the rears significantly faster to the point where I still wont be replacing all four at the same time again?

Thanks

I have an 04 G35 coupe right now with the OEM brembo kit and I want to buy some iforged wheels and I was wondering what dimensions I should order on the wheels if I am going to drop about an inch or inch and half...

I want 19's and I was wondering what offsets and diameters I should order in order to have the most aggresive stance without making any other modifications to the car... i.e. roll fenders, adjust camber etc.?

Also should I buy any spacers? and what would be the optimal tire sizes I should buy with whatever dimensions that I can have...

Thanks in advance....


Here is a pic of the wheels I am ordering

Just buy the fronts, you can buy the rears later.

Good to see someone else in this thread, should we get this thread sponsored by Shyne too?

1. You won't need spacers if you order custom wheels.
2. You can't get aggressive or flush unless you do fender work
3. If you call Iforged, they can fit your car easily.
4. 19x9.5+15 and 19x10.5 +20 with 255/35 and 275/30 would be mint. But like I said, call iForged, they know their ****.

Didn't I tell you to go with 15mm?? Go with 15mm.

Wheel question.

I have a 06 coupe and was thinking of running 20X10+25 running 275/30 in rear and 19X9+20 running 235/35 in front
Does anyone know if this will cause any problems with braking suspension, anything really.

Thanks

Well since you haven't mentioned offsets or tire sizes.

YENO

I have an 06 Coupe and am thinking of lowering it a bit. What size spacer (and what brand) should I use on the OEM 19" Rays to get them more flush without rubbing issues?


I really like the look of this car:

If you can have someone roll your fenders in the back go with 25mm up front and 30mm in the rear. If you don't want to roll your fenders do 25 and 25.
Spacers:
Ichiba V2
Project Kics
H&R
Concept Z Performance
Even the ebay spacers are pretty high quality.

Lower the car on Tanabe DF210 or coilovers.

I have a 04 coupe, about to put varrstoen 2.2.2 in a +12 offset 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. My car is a factory height right now, i plan to order coils to close up the fender gap, now question 1) will i have to roll or pull my fenders with this offset 2) how low is safe to go to close up fender gap? Oh yea i plan to stretch my tires a little also.

There is no need to stretch tires if your getting the +12 varrs. If you want to go alittle smaller it probably wouldn't hurt but id say almost all with that offset run 245 front 275 rear and you only need a rear fender roll...with those tire sizes there are guys dropped 2.5-3 inches and some guys with +0 offset dropped 4 inches so I say if your getting coils just mess with it alittle..that's the point of them..you will find your ideal ride height after some tweeking. But you'll definitely be able to close fender gap and even tuck alittle depending on the camber you run.and tire size..hope this helped..4dgs will give more insight tho I'm sure he's tired of answering the same varrs. Question over again lol if I go +12 I'm gonna run 245 front and try to run 265 rear just to get some better clearance but most go 275/30 or 275/35 rear
