new shoes !

These are my new 19inch lm reps. Setup is 19x8.5 et 35 front and 19x9.5 et 33 rears. tires are 225/35r19 front and 265/3019 rears continental dws. personally i thing this is a great setup. First i was planing on the m3 220 reps but came across on a deal from jose at sonic tuning , couldnt pass it by.

rears all mounted up.


fronts all mounted

and finally on the car

Dude,
Your tires are WAY too narrow for your wheels.
Good for curbing the wheels, not much else.

No way the tires are way too narrow! a 225 is acceptable up to a 9 inch wheel and rear 265 is good up to a 10 inch wheel

225s fit perfect on a 7.5" wide wheel, anything more than 8" wide, and they are being stretched. you can even see the gap between the lip of the rim and the tire in your first pic.

how come you got 225's for the 8.5" front when your rears are "normal" with 265 on a 9.5"? just wondering cuz its not like youre slammed and trying to go for the stretch/poke/flush look...

wheels look clean as heck tho

Well since you were nice enough to ask. i was originally going to get vb3 with 19x10 rears so the 225 would match the rear stretch . got the tires on a deal so got them first and then a close friend go the wheels i wanted so the plans changed also came across a great deal from jose@sonictuning. going to be lowering it summer time and prolly run some spacers all around
