hey 6969g35,
what's the offset on your wheels? Do they rub out at all and what tires did you go with? I have a set of SO 3's in that same size and im waiting on my wheels but people have been telling me that they are noisy tires. whatever that means. Sorry to hear about your wheel. What are you getting charged for repairs?

per 10F change up or down, you will see approx 1psi change.
So if you set your tire pressure at 35psi in 50F while the tire is cold,
you will be at 34psi if temp goes down to 40F, or 36psi if temp goes
up to 60F.
I usually use 37psi this time of year.
35psi imho is too low for 19+ wheels.

AGREE. If you can fix it, then do it because getting a new rim is $$$, good luck
