#4816
hey guys. I ordered a pair of Drag DR – 37 wheels yesterday. I'm looking to get a set of tires that will fit them without me having to fuss with the speedometer, so I basically need them to be the same overall size as the stock wheels plus tires. I don't need the highest performing tires, but also I don't want some big ol' fat winter tires.
THEY ARE 19x8.5!!!
Also, I heard that the Lug nuts are different from car to car. I'm not talking about the bolt pattern, I'm talking about the actual lug nuts. Does anyone here know the size/thread of the Lug nuts?
Thanks in advance!

Ok wow this thread moves fast. Back to my 19" Maya's...lol. Ok, so the wheel specs are 19x9.5 +32 and 19x10.5 +29. I'm now probably leaning towards buy new 20" inners and step lip outers and just converting them to step lip 20's.
I've never custom built wheels to a specific spec, so I just want to see if my math is correct. I'd like to keep the wheel widths the same, but since the Maya's typically have a really small lip up front, I'd like to make the lip a little larger. I think the front lip is like only 2" or so right now. But let's just say I were to keep the inner barrel the same width as they are now (but in 20's), and just ordered the outer step lip with say a 3" outer lip, it would in essence give me a 20x9.5 +7, right? This wouldn't affect brake clearance in any way right? I mean, right now at their current 19x9.5 +32 specs, they clear a BBK. Effectively lowering the offset wouldn't change that right? Or converting them to step lips either right? Thanks again for the valuable info.

I'm not the expert here, but I own 20" Maya's STM. Are they STM? I'm starting to get into building wheels. Mine are 10.5/11.5 +6(what I was told, havnt measured myself) and I think: medium disc a around(I need 8-10mm spacer to clear brembos) making my setup -6 upfront. I have 5" lips upfront and 5.5" rear with front fenders pulled quite a bit @ 3* camber and rears rolled flat with ~5*(my fitment still needs work.
My suggestion to you to keep your 9.5/10.5 setup would be for a functional aggressive look 4" front 5" rear lips with 5.5" inners all around with some 225/35 and 245/35- not completely sure the offset after this work is complete, just know my experience with maya stm.

$35 is a good price to mill down the centers, however. Make sure he is very precise or you had best stock up on Advil.

So in that case you'll be at 19x10.5 +20
The rebuild of lips and barrels will not affect brake clearance in any way, only the pad (face) can change that.
Out of curiosity where did you get the +7 offset on your initial math?

I also approve what he is saying with the sizing.

Not quite. If you add lip size and keep the inner barrel the same as the existing size then the overall width will increase by the amount added via lip.

Sure, or you can stagger tires like the coupe do.
The site told you to go with specifically a Michelin? What makes a 255/40 michy different than a 255/40 BFG?
Great advice... stick to your manual and be sure to consult your dealer, that will get us all so far when we try and run aftermarket parts!
