enkei makes a lot of random OE wheels. They do a lot of toyota's they aren't fancy or anything and are not the enkeis you have in mind.



wheel wheel wheels. I have 18x8.5 +33 thats going to be on the sedan, ideally i wanted RE760 in 245/45/18 but thats about $600-700. A local guy i know is selling Re960 the all-season set with 80% for $400 but they are 245/40/18. Which should i roll with, these are my summer tire setup. I dont race or anything. Go to the drag strip once a year maybe. Do a lot of highway cruising.

I asked about tires for my new wheels weeks ago. LightsOut answered a few posts later saying they would be "Sunken in" and to buy spacers if I was gonna keep them.

I've checked several calcs and DTD and Neal @ Tire Rack all say it will actually stick out.

Essentially. Stock wheels are 18x8 +30 (I had thought this was +33), New ones are 19x8.5 +20

I assume at this point LightsOut was wrong and there have been no other responses. The question still remains about tire sizes and add another questions about adding Tein H tech springs to the mix, any fitment/rubbing issues?

Thanks in advance.

if you slam your ride, a fender pull will be needed.
Rear ---- deff. need a fender roll.

are you going with the strectch look? is that why you have a 265 tire.

i didnt put these tire sizes on my nismo. They are the Oem Potenzas factory tires that came with the rims. So i should have bought 20mm spacers all around instead of 25mm.

Are the toe bolts important to install when installing the camber kit? I bought mines used and they never came with them.

I have 245/35/19 ET20 (f) and 275/35/19 ET20 (r). I want to know what size spacer I could go without rubbing and I plan on dropping 1.2 front and .9 back. Also, I was recommended H&R would that be a good one or is something better.

"out of toe" will wear out a tire MUCH faster than just about anything. If you are not "in spec", yes, you need them.

Question about these wheels

Was messing around and found these for sale. I really like them but am not too sure if they will fit. I have a 2003.5 sedan and am about to put the pro-kit on soon. If someone could tell me if these will fit or not and if so what, if any modifications, will need to be made to make them fit? Thanks, Matt

the front will be okay but the rear will be about 10mm past the fender edge... with Pro kit that not gonna create a problem (just wont look that good imo)... if you go lower you will need quite a bit of camber (and fender roll) to clear.
