Wheel and tire upgrade

[anwagbo3000]

Hey guys, my next project will be to get:

New rims
New tires

I already have my new rims lined up and actually have 2 of them sitting in my room (long story), they are konig afterburner in black:

18X7.5 5-114.3 45BPL, all four wheels


but i need some suggestions on tires, any ideas (sorry eddie, your gonna hate me for this but i love these rims man)

And comments on the wheels are welcome, my next mod would have been a cp-e maf but i went to the cp-e shop and they dont have any made right now, they gave me a estimate of like end of july, so this will be my current mod and my next mod will be the cp-e maf ( and paying some bills)

Are they suposed to be anodized like that? or is it just a camera effect?

They're supposed to be like that. Knock-off of the Rays Gram Lights



For tires, I say 235 all the way around.

[anwagbo3000]

yeah, thats the look and i really do not think that they are knock-offs

I dunno, in the sun it might look really odd unless you have a paint job to match. As for tires, that really all depends, are you looking for all seasons or do you have winter tires allready so you can run high performance tires?

how about 225 will that work?

[ThatVietGuy]

It would, 235 fills out the wheel more, though.

225/45 is wat would fit
i forgot what the 235 is but it fits also, just slightly bigger than stock
(225 is slightly smaller)

[anwagbo3000]

I want a great all around tire, i want a tire with great traction for better and acceleration and better traction, but also i want a tire with good rainy condition performance as well, i was looking into falken, and you guys suggest the tire size to be 235

[PXLpainter]

Depends on your wheel offset. 235s will match the closest to OEM tire dia, but you may rub. I went to 225s and don't rub as much but I have a -30 offset too... you may be fine.

[ThatVietGuy]

+30 PXL, you have +30

TIC also makes wheels like those too. exact same style and lip.
When my car was at HIN chicago just the past month there were already a few cars sporting those. it looked alright .. a little too much unless if you had a whole body paint to match it, otherwise to me it looked... really goofy and weird,
but to each their own.

Yes they are KNOCK OFFS! Cheaper version of the REAL Gram Lights!

[anwagbo3000]

whether you guys think they are knock-offs or not, i like them, but not cuz they are knock offs lol

and i think i will go with 225, since 235 may rub

If it makes you feel any better, i'm running 235x35x19 tires on a +45 offset with TRD springs and i'm not rubbing anything.
