Just got 19" Rims put on... 245/35/19 tires... oh so nice!

Sup all. Been out and about for the last few monthes, but I was able to get some rims on my ride finally! They are Falken rims, hyper silver (Chrome didn't make sense for a max, and my car is out doors so they would look like crap in 4 monthes.) I really wanted to get some AXIS MODs black with a chrome lip, but since I am not made out of money $480 a rim I had to go with some cheaper ones. Its funny actually, my tires, Falken 451s 245/35/19 are more expensive then the rim... $185 versis $175. I couldn't find another black rim other then the axis that came in 19x8.0... oh well. I think the Falken rims look sick... you'd agree?



I like this last shot cuz you can now see my suspension... plus if you look at the blue bolt-on (lower left) thats the stillen rear sway bar...

those are 19's? They look a bit small.

It reminds me of Deday from Friday 2.

"I am riding on 20's" "B!tch, those are tens"

The rim itself looks nice.

What is the offset of these wheels? The rears look pretty tucked. They look pretty good, regardless.

I believe the offset is 45... no rubbing issues at all! Sadly I can't really peel out any more (probably because of the wider tires).... Guess I am going to have to wait for headers and exhaust to be able to peel out again....

I have no issues with that, but that may be due to my car being a 5.5.

They look smaller because of the curved spokes. Not too bad though...

You can't peel out due to the increased weight your new wheels weight vs OEM ones. Your car is now slower than it was before. You should lower it and put some spacers on the back to make the wheels stick out a little bit more in the rear.

true that...gettin some ssr competitions when i get the money.......

light weight is the way to go; you reduce rotational inertia by 30% going from the stock 17's to the 18" ssr competitions...

They look smaller because your eye focuses on the center of the rim, not because the spokes are curved. Without the lip, the rims would indeed be 18''.

Already lowered the car with Eibach Springs... I don't know about spacers... Having the rear tires stick out isn't such a big deal for me... after all, the car is front wheel drive. Getting a spacer could be an idea tho... Didn't even think about that yet, just letting the hole in my wallet close up a little..

Before I got my G35C rims, I had 20 mm H&R spacers in the rear with stock TE 17" rims and 235/45-17 tires. The tires were flush with the car and looked great. I think 10 mm spacers would bring the tires flush with the car with your 245 tires.

Looking good. I like the lip, even though it gives the appearance of a bit smaller wheel. Same 'illusion' with my HP's.

Nice look! on the tire size! Yes, the wheels do look a little smaller due to the lip, but no worries because the style is really nice! I think mine look smaller than 19s sometimes too...

I love those rims you got! Wondering if they have 20''?



As far as this post the wheels look nice but I do have to agree they seem a lil bit small maybe is just the picture?

Rims with a lip do tend to look small....

Falken do not sell 20s in the circuit spec.. They are 19s, but sadly look a little small. I think I will most definately get some spacers once the void in my wallet doesn't seem so large. I personally like the rims, and wouldn't want them any bigger. I do think that you could fit 20s on the max, but I am not sure about any rubbing.
