you shouldn't. ppl are running wider tires/wheels with lower drops and not having issues. the offset is also very high (+45mm iirc).

I wonder if I'll have any rubbing issues on an H-tech drop?

+35mm is a good size and should be ok w/ 245.

Yes, it looks as if this form has the right people in it. What an advantage

Thank you all for the information. And pics of these on a 5th Gen would be amazing. I know I've seen a 5th gen with these on before.

I can't believe that no one pointed out the main difference. Both are nice looking, with that it is simply a choice of what you like. Both are at a great price. 18" or 19"? City driving 18". But the main difference is




Konig - cast
Rays - forged

Forged is a lot stronger.

Yeah, I made reference to that I believe in the first post. Thats one of the main things I'm attracted to with those wheels. I ran into another issue with the Konigs too.

It seems as if the only way I'll get the lip that I want on the Konigs (and have them look as they are advertised is to go 18x9 with a 35mm offset).

Finally! I found what I believe is the only picture of a 5th with A34 Nismo's on it. (Courtesy of JCD89)



Granted they are not the same color as I intend to purchase, however, it gives me an overall view of what they'll look like. They fill the wheel well like a dream and IMO are one of the most complimentary wheels to the A33 body lines. This car looks like it's stock height so I assume mine will look even nicer with an H-Tech drop. I am very excited...


...and I'll let you guys in on a little secret....


(I am able to get these wheels for under $700.00 shipped )

I'm not too sure on the gunmetal finish. They seem to be harder to find for some reason. I'll be going with the silver finish as I think it would look a lot better on Sunlit Sand than Gunmental.

Yeah, the only down side to these rims are that tires are at minimum $22 more per tire. Oh well. I'll still be supporting forged awesomeness.
