Sucks having a nice car!

RE: Sucks having a nice car!
Yeah with airbrushing words nor pictures can describe. To someone whom doesn't know anything about airbrush you'd look at the picture and be like look at there paint someone took a spray can to it! I guarantee though that that car looks sweet in person....those pics do no justice plus he's got it dropped and the body kit dropped makes the rims and the car kind of look funny! By the way thought you didn't like those rims? Remember when I posted the pic? The pic below is with the 18's and I wanted the 19's but the only ones they have are 8.5" wide SUCK (my way of saying darn it!)

RE: Sucks having a nice car!
well they are 38mm offset, thats the same as i have so yea you'll get some rub. My only recomendation is if possible go with 35 ratio tires, i have 40's, i can have people in the back, but on a hard bump, ill get a rub. But my back seat is still useable. Rolling the fenders seems like a great idea, i am going to do that next as soon as i can line up a spot to do it well. ill let you know if it eliminates my rubbing issues.

Hey fan of alba and found these 19's that would fit! Not too bad of a deal and I know they are good quality rims.

even with a 225 tire, the 8.5 still rub if you have people in the back, but they are good if you dont have people. The time it rubs most is with people in the back and taking a turn or going over bumps. id reccomend going with a 215 tire, although it will be pretty streched. Look good, but have to be carefull with potholes

RE: Sucks having a nice car!
I mentioned this before in another post, but I tried looking for some nice 19x7.5 wheels and had no luck. I settled for some 19x8's with some 215/35/19 Nitto Neo Gentires, although this setup didnt rub (even with people in the back) it didnt protect the rim at ALL and the ride felt rough & unstable especially on sharp turns! I hit a pothole in San Francisco and tore both of my right tires and luckily did not bend my rims. These are photos of the 215/35/19's; I didnt like how the tire looks stretch. It's more for imports than Jags.
I replaced all 4 of my tires w/ 225/35/19 Mastercraft Avenger ZHP's and they fill out the rim perfectly, closes up the wheel gap,and the ride is a 110% better! I will post some pics this weekend. The new setup 19x8 w/ 225/35/19's rub on bumps and with people in the back, but I wouldnt go back or suggest 215/35/19's for you. 225's w/ an 8" diameter wheel will work.

RE: Sucks having a nice car!
Hey aquiller, could you do a couple of tests of the stock rims before you go bigger and tell me how the stopping power difference is? I want rims, but apart from the money, something that has me pretty scared is; Is the car going to stop like it did before...If not, then how much is the difference?
