Oh yea, roll your rear fenders
Yeah my fenders are rolled. And thanks! . I'll try out the 245/35 and 275/30
Which brand of tire you think will be good for stretch and size because different brands are a little bit different.

Hey guys quick question about polishing lips. There's obviously a difference in the polish between wheels straight from Work and wheels from say, VR Wheels. I was wondering if you could bring back that quality polish from a work wheel? If its already somewhat faded.
Or would it end up looking like those built wheels. Thanks. Flame me if you'd like.

I'm pretty sure most work wheels have a clear cost or anodizing over the lips. So once that finish is hazy or tarnished the only way to bring back the mirror shine is to strip the clear, polish and re-apply

Those sizes arnt stretching much, and sorry I don't have the best advice on tires, I'm running accelera's, cheap as hell lol.

Hankooks, falken(not advised for extreme stretch) are good price to quality ratio I would say

Can't tell the difference in person honestly. Can't even really tell in pictures.

I know another wheel question. Sorry guys. So I ordered the xxr 526 with +15 offset all the way around and 20x11 rear and 20x9 front. I am not dropped or rolled yet but i am planning to roll the rears and get 350z stechs. I don't like a ton of stretch but I am thinking 255/30 fronts and 295/25 or 295/25 rears? Good any ideas or suggestions? Thanks everybody!

To really stretch I used Falkens at first because everyone said they were the best. That is a lie, I couldn't get my fronts to seal, but I had the best result with Nittos. Simpletire.com is where I got them and recommend them to everyone.

Tire Size's

If i'm at stock height and I have 19x8.5 F 19x9.5 rears on an 03 coupe what combinations of tires will fit my car.
I know that one combination is:
245/35/R19 F
275/35/R19 R


Are there any other combinations that will look nice and work with those wheel sizes?

Most popular is 245/35 275/30 for that wheel size and stagger. At stock height to reduce the gap and provide more cushion I would do 245/40 and 275/35

Quick question. How would a 245/40 look on a 10'' wide wheel? For the front.

Ok maybe I should give more details. 19 inch wheels, dropped on coilovers, looking for a nice flush look.
