They didn't even charge me after I noticed they were missing.
Also can I replace em??? Anyone know how/where? Thanks
Try contacting the wheel manufacturer or a retailer that carries that brand.

Hi everybody, my wheel set up is 20x9 +22 w/ 245/35 front tires and 20x10.5 + 35 w/ 285/30 rear tires.

My goal now is to make it look more aggressive, to do that I need you guys's input.

1) what coil-overs would you recommend, one that keep the ride smooth enough?
2) I'm not sure yet about spacers but I welcome any suggestions
3) how low should I lower it in order to look aggressive, well balanced and flash with fenders?

Thanks

Im not too familiar with many suspensions but as far as height, its your taste. Id go with 225 & 255 add 15mm-F & 25mm-R spacers.

what are you trying to accomplish? you can run a large tire setup & a stretched tire setup. 255 F & 285 R easily.

1. Megan, Stance, BC racing etc. Depends on your budget. Bang for the buck, I'd say BC.
2. I assuming this is a coupe? Front 20mm and rear 30mm if you're serious about getting aggressive lose those tires and run the biggest spacers you can find, then we'll talk tires.
3. What does this mean? Fender work? or???

What? you have to different wheel options I'm detecting lol
option 1
18x10 front and 18x11.5 rear

option 2
20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear

regardless, I need to know if you're a coupe or sedan and the offsets on the wheels. If you're a sedan you need to research more.

Not gonna lie man, I don't think those rivets are functional, there is NO modular wheels that only use 10 bolts to hold the face in.

What kind of wheels are they?

05 Sedan with G/Z springs and Tokico shocks

19x10 +45 Rear. 285/30/19
After looking at more set-up than I can count, and calculating tire diameters for almost every combo possible ive come up with the above tire combo.
I am not worried about the front, but I am uncertain about the rear fitting without rubbing. My fenders are not rolled as of right now, but im probably going to roll them a little (no pulling though).
Or I guess I should ask "what will it take for the rear to fit"
Im looking at Hankook v12's for tires.

Thanks.
You'll be fine with a roll on those.

What I want is for the oem 18's to be as flush as possible with stock ride height and not have to worry about rubbing at all even under severe cornering. Which size spacers would you recommend?
25 front 30 rear if you're willing to roll your fenders

25 front and back if you're not.

I was planning on using Falken FK452's but if someones got a better tire option I'm open, I need a mild to medium stretch. I was thinking about going with these specs but wanted to run it by everyone first so I only end up ordering tires once. My rear fenders are rolled and I'm on Stance Coilovers

Fronts:
245/35-19 or 255/35-19

Rears:
275/35-19

Any advice would be appreciated
This isn't the thread for you, you should ask in the aggressive wheels thread if you want better answers.

Those tire sizes will work, me personally I'd do 235/40 and 265/35 but or if you want to dump the car and be a man

235/35 and 265/30

Then add spacers and dial your camber.

oh forgot to mention DO NOT BUY FALEKNS. they stretch very poorly. Look into Hankook ventus v12s, Nankangs, toyos etc. Falkens bubble up really quickly.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you put winter tires on the 19' rays would it be enough to get through snow and if so how much snow? Im weighing the options of just getting winter tires put on or buying separate, smaller rims and winter tires. Thanks!
