275/30-19 80.1in -4.4%

275/35-19 should looks better

Tig,

That's right, your tires are too small. Your speedo will be off by some. Take note that the car takes the speed from the rotation of the rear wheels (not the front as some ppl thought). Therefore, you will be gaining more miles faster on your odometer.

- Don't argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.=P-

Re: Got my Gunmetal Volk TE37s 19x9.5

yeah the tires could have been a little bigger, but not many companies make 275/35s, some pics make the gap look larger than others, the ride seems to be better, softer, takes bumps better, little bit of road noise from the front probably from the wider tires, but handling is much better, and no more pull to the right. im more than satisfied with having one of only a handful sets of these rims in the country. this set was supposedly the first set in the US special order from japan, now you can order them but was told to expect a 5-6 month wait.

Re: Got my Gunmetal Volk TE37s 19x9.5

no i wasnt lied to, i bought these rims from a guy from my350z, he ordered them from japan and had to wait 5 months to get them, only put about 300 miles on them, when he bought them they were the first set in the US, I know many people have them now, actually they dont, many people have gunmetal but not 19 x 9.5, and yes my speedo will be a little off, i think its like 5mph off, but hell who looks at the speedo anyway?

"F" the Hulk, you're my new hero. Don't worry about what anyone else says as long as you're happy. Different people have different taste, and you really helped out those people who are thinking about new rims. I wonder how much you paid. PM me if you want to tell me.
