it depends on the tires too. if he gets a tire that runs small or true
thats gonna be a lot of stretch.

up to the owner though. he wont know unless he tries

^^ yah true.. well to add to that, with a 215 on a 9 get a tire that runs a little larger like a general or fk452


si3lv5er0z the ride depends on your coilovers and even your fender work, if you want more poke you do less fender work but then need to stiffen up the coilovers meaning a harder ride, if you want less poke you do more fender work and less adjusting on dampening and a better ride

it all depends on the street you're driving on as well

so just a combo of all of those

i have a 215/35 on a 9 stretch is perfect and matches my 225/35 on my 10.

I am getting Work Varianza T1s in 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 10.5. I want a medium stretch, would a 245.30.20 and a 275.30.20 give me a good look. The tires are going to be Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's, do those run big?

And is the best way to correct toe with the spc toe bolts?

a 275 on a 10.5 isnt going to give u medium stretch, more like 255 or maybe 265.

Wheels are:
18x9 +20
18x10 +20

Would a 225 40 be too much of a stretch on those wheels?

i am about to purchase a set of coupe 19's for my '04 sport sedan, lowered slightly on '05 Z suspension. i have a few questions:

1. how do i tell if the 19's have TPMS or not? the owner isn't a car guy and has no idea. he had aftermarket rims installed within 1000 kms of buying his coupe.
2. if the rims have TPMS, do i need to do anything when i install the wheels on my car, or is it a plug-and-play deal?
3. if the rims do not have TPMS, what are my options?
4. some people indicate that with my setup i will have rear fender rubbing issues, other people say they never had a problem except for extreme situations. what's the deal?

thank you

i believe the hankooks run true or smaller, i doubt large, a medium stretch on those would be a 235/30 on the 9.5 and a 255/35 on the 10.5, and yes only way to correct toe is with toe bolts, unless the shop doing it can enlargen the oem hole and go about it that way but you won't get much adjustment like that

not at all, 225/40 on a 9 is just right, not sure about the 40 series

1. hmm you can let air out of ur tires, drive around a bit n see if you get a warning light, it will look like an exclamation point
2.nothing esle installed buddy, however you might need to reprogram the tpms..not sure about that one, something i need to find out for myself
3. if the dont have tpms.. you can...get..tpms? lol thats the only option that or keep checking manually
4. you probably won't rub, the coupe 19s on the sedan are pretty flush and with you being lowered a bit, shouldnt make much of a difference, if you do feel rubbing on dips and such just get your fenders rolled

I just ordered wheels this past week and I need to get tires for them but I was kinda leaning on stretching them. The guy originally told me to run 245/30/20 in the front and a 275/35/20 in the rear. Will that give them a mild stretch or if not what tire size will for 20x9.5+20x10.5

What are the offsets? If u can fit 245/275, don't go any smaller. Don't stretch just for the look, do it because u need to. Also, keep it all 30 series, imo.

with all of the spacer questions

you know you guys can always measure from the tire to the fender to get a rough estimate

its not that hard..

Ok, first of all, sorry for asking a question that I'm sure has been asked before but I'm just really sick of searching through thousands of posts and it looks like this is what this thread is for anyway.
I have an 03 Sedan on revised Z suspension. I would like to go with 19s. The wheels I want are 8.5 wide and are available in +30 and +43 offset, I'm thinking the +30. As for tires, I'm considering 255-35-19 or 245-40-19 (I'll take suggestions on which)
My main concern is rubbing. I don't really want to get the fenders rolled, I just want to be able to put on the new wheels and tires and be done with it. Will they clear?

Like I said before I am getting an aggressive setup with 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 T1's. I am also going to be dropping my car on Stance coils. I will need to run some camber. Would I be fine with just a spc rear camber kit w/ toe bolts, or would I need a front camber kit also?
