I'm not familiar with that grade system so I can really offer an insight there. Usually stainless is high enough grade that it's close to par with grade 8 but I can't be certain for that. Look up torque specs and what not for that grade and size. If it can handle 40ft/lbs then you're cool.

275/30 would be slightly less stretch than the 255/35 where as the 265/30 is pretty similar. I have 225/35 on 10 and 275/30 on 11.5 and personally I could have gone 265/30 and it would have matched a little better. If you're ok with slightly more stretch up front then 275/30 and 235/35 is perfectly fine.

 

Thanks, I did order some grade 8 bolts, just to be safe.

Looks like 265/30 are more rare than 275/30. Maybe you can give me advice if I need the 265 or not:
G35 Coupe Rear: 20x11.5 +6.
I just got my rear fenders rolled and I have a camber kit on the back

 

Don't need the 265/30 IMHO. People have run less stretch while being more aggressive. Blain always says "stretch for what you need," but really, either stretch would be fine. If it's easier to get a 275/30, I would stick with that.

 

Oh 275/30 is fine, I thought you were in the negatives for some reason.

I can't remember but are you going with nankangs? If so I'll take a picture of how my 275/30s stretch on my 11.5s. They're shifted to the outside slightly tho so the stretch looks slightly less. But I'm finding now that something specific to weds wheels.

 

4dgs its not lowered but wanting to lower about 1.5" im not into the stretch tire look but willing to go crazy with the wheels and i also want to evetually do a mild camber look and its a coupe

 

Most common thing to do with a 1.5" drop is 9.5/10.5 offsets in the positive teens. 245/275/35. It's not low enough to stretch and pull it off.

To give you an idea, Skaterbasist ran the above widths and tires with +7/+8 offsets, to give you an idea of the drop and specs.

He ran between -2.5 and 3* of camber for that set up.

Is that what you're looking for?

 

My fronts will end up being negatives, after a 10mm spacer, 20x10.5 -6. Those will be 235/35. Hope it won't be too much trouble to clear.

I did go with nankangs, I think I now remember you talking about the trouble with mounting 255 now, lol. One of the tires seemed to have closed the gap a little, but it's still a few mm of barrel showing. Maybe I'll have them try to do again, 150psi till they burst! If not I'll get nankangs or Achilles, they're cheaper and higher tread ware.

 

def should not have any trouble with that stretch on nankangs. they stretch too easily and nicely. they didn't bead just at 40psi?

 

Question for you Blain,

Friend of mine has a G sedan, what would it take or is it even do-able to fit these rims?

front: 19x10 +21 HP
rear: 19x11 +27 MP

Friend has coils, spc rear camber and toe bolt.

 

No, they put them up to 100psi to get them where they are now will batting them down and with tons of lube.

I may try again since they've been broken in a little

 

my 255s had to be aired up to 120 before they seated.

Doable. But he's into some stretch and camber.

The front would be ideal with a 225/40 and the rear should have a 255/35. Rear will need roughly -5 degrees of camber and a decent pull. However with the offset being that high he may need to run a spacer to get the wheel away from the strut. I ran 11 +20 with -5 degrees and a good pull. However Chris (JDM cain) was around +23 or +24 IIRC and he was within mms of the strut.

So, it's doable, but it will take a little bit of tinkering with the camber specs to make it sit right.

The front he'll probably want a 10mm spacer.

Leave em in the sun for a little bit before trying to mount them, sometimes it can help the rubber flex a little.

 

Thanks Blain, I'll let him know asap!

I'm thinking in the future that I would like bigger lips on the Work VSXX that I recently bought. How would I do this? As in how those this work?

Can I just buy a 19" Work VSXX 5" replacement lip and put it on my current rims? But what would it turn the specs of the rim into?

19x9.5 +29 i think 3" lip, WOuld like to make this an 4" or 4.5" lip
19x10.5 +28 4.5" or 4" lip, would like to make this 5" lip

I see VRwheels website that they sell replacement 19" Work VSXX lips..
Thanks!

 

I am looking to get 8mm spacers on my oem coupe with 18 inch rims. will I have any rubbing issues with this??

 

oem 18s? no, no rubbing problems...not even close.

 

haha thats a really small spacer to use on oem 18's...
