Silver KEN SAYS BYE TO 20"S & HELLO TO 19"S RACING HART R5-BLACK ON HKS RS

Sold my 20" Maido Edition "LS5" w/ Nitto NT555 Tires ,

Going down to 19"s wasn't a easy decision, but a very smart one for my G and future mods . The reason why I got rid of my 20"s w/tires was because of weight issues with the rims & tires, rear tire rubbing, and tire noise. But after getting HKS RS coilovers it didn't make anymore sense to have 20" wheels.

So I just got the new Racing Harts "R5" Black Finish 19x9(F) & 19X10.5(R)
with Pirelli "PZero Rosso" tires 245/34/19 & 275/35/19 that has a sexy red "PZero" logo

I truly can feel car more lighter than before, when I accelerate.
Having Perilli Tires is a more comfortable ride than before, no noise issue, no rubbing and I must say its the most sexiest tire I ever owned
Got pics.........

I love those rims. If I ever change mine, those are my top choice.

Wow, I've been waiting a while to see what these wheels looked like on a g35. They look really great. Do you mind taking a few more pics?

Looks nice!

If you every drive in the rain, you will also like the Rosso’s wet traction abilities. I have these tires on our Saleen and noticed a substantial improvement over the last P-Zeros on the car.

Hmm, I've got the same kit coming with DPE 20s going on it. I hope I'm happier than you with the 20" setup.

I'm not saying anything bad about having 20"s, in fact I would love to stay with 20"s. But the matter of the fact, if you have a performance coilover kit and a bad **** body kit with some mods and then thinking about forced induction, the smart thing to do is to have 19" lightweight wheels inorder not to lose any power or cause any lag?

Hot Wheels!!!


$$$$ I ran 295's PZero's and almost burst a blood vessel when I got the bill. They were indeed Sexy as Hell with the little Red Label.

I went through my rears in 6 months and changed the profile to 285's and saved $300 per tire through Tire Rack.

Group lets all say it together "Tire Rack is My Friend!" I will never buy tires retail again!

Hey Juan,

that set up looks tight! Clean lines, nice color choice too! Quick question, Are you running a camber kit in the rear? the back rim looks nice and straight? If so, what kit are you running? TIA.... Jon.

I guess that's why I thought 20s would be fine since I'll be running around 400whp pretty soon. I was willing to give up a slight performance loss for the look.

No camber kit. For some reason I was thinking about needing one, but lucky me the rear is straight....... Note all applications are different???????
I found a very interesting two part article about understanding suspension (making it stick) perfectly, the magazine: "Sport Compact Car" May (part 1) & July (part 2) 2005, talks about the important steps in making your car stick properly to the road and better handling. They talk about the advantages and disadvantages of different springs & coilovers, performance tires, lightwheels, camber & toe settings, handling, and more. For some one like me with the rookie knowledge I had of suspension, this was definitely a upgrade of knowledge.
