New wheels!

So some of you may have noticed I've been looking around for either some M45 Sport wheels or some OEM Rays 19's. Well I finally am picking up these M45 Sport wheels about 2 hours away on Friday. I landed them with 2 bald tires, and the other 2 have 4/32.... for $700.

SO obviously the tires are worthless. I've also heard I'm gonna need some spacers in the front to make them fit. +5mm at least and +15mm at the most. Are there other setups sedan owners have done with these wheels and gotten a sick look? PICS PLEASE!

i think you'll need spacers along the lines of 15MM all around if you use 245/40/19 tires

Check with SDGenius, he ran those wheels for quite a while. Or lookup the offsets on M45s compared to the coupe 19s (they are flush on sedans) and figure out the difference.

I think I fixed the pics link. Everyone knows what they look like.. it was just to show how good of condition they're in

and I've heard of people running just a 5 or 10mm spacer in front and none in the rear and called it a day

Do you think it would require rolling if I drop it on coupe springs?

Oops, i meant 245-40-19

rolling ur fenders depends on what size spacers you run w/the springs

Thats what I thought you meant lol

I'm not too worried.. because I'm only gonna go coupe springs and I have a friend with the eastwood roller if needed.

Once again.. this car is getting to its last days... so whatever I do to it will just transfer to the next G sedan..The body on my car is in so need of attention its hard for me to spend a lot of money :-/ tires are gonna be like $1000. YAY!
