Why not just take the whole frame and motor and tranny out and put it in a old 240sx and pull a freak hot rod build. Why not just blow the thing up while i'm at it.
Wow easy there princess, no need for sarcasm.
I was making a suggestion since your car is an 03 model and you've had a problem with one of the studs already.
Sorry for making a suggestion to assure safety and save you any future hassles.
I think you need to change your tampon ASAP cause you aren't going to get any help with that kind of attitude.

And no don't blow up the car, just sell it and get an old Civic cause people like you make the rest of us look bad.

Looking at a set of volk gts's

I have an 03 coupe with the brembos...

Specs are F 19x9.5 +17 offset with a Kumho Ecsta 245/35/19 tire and R 19x10.5 +18 offset with a Kumho Ecsta 285/35/19 tire.

Any issues?


EDIT - stock ride height.

good setup. I'd suggest a 275 tire rather than 285.

clearing brembo will be based on the disk type not the offset. I'm not to familiar on that part though.

Are Yokohama S-Drive tires any good? I plan on changing to them instead of Falken 452 after reading about many people having bad experiences with them.

I roll on S-drives with T1S wheels. Falken are good and a lot of people use them too, but there sidewall's tend to be weak

I got 275/30/20 and 255/30/20 setup from tire rack for approx. 600 shipped to my door. I think it was cheaper than Falkens, plus the tread is cool

I am extremely newb when it comes to wheels.

I have an 03 coupe dropped on Eibach Pro Kits.

Should I get 19's or 20's or is it just personal preference?

^Mainly personal preference. Kinda depends on the wheel/tire you're looking for or the styles you like. Some may only be available in one of those.

I have nitto invo tires. pretty good set, but the rears are noisy now that theyre beyond 50% worn. i ran a 285 on a 10.5 wheel and its pretty meaty.

would stretching a 275 tire on the wheel change the wear dynamics and possibly avoid being noisy?
