:) New wheels arriving soon.

Hey, I've been on holidays for a while, and i see I'm still not out of 101 haha oh well i havnt contributed to the forums in a while. Well If any of you remember my a32 maxima from Aussie :) Ive bought new wheels to replace my 18's.

The 18's were simply too small and with the body kit too big i couldn't get rid of that wheel gap without touching the ground.

Anyways my new wheels are Rays Amistads 19 " Front: X 9 + 22
Rear: X 10 + 12

I Haven't bought tyres yet for them so can you guys advise me as to what size :), Ill need to do flaring mod on rear so should I go stretched? You guys know more than me :)

not bad wheels mate, get them repolished (or give it a go yourself i guess) and they should look nice.
for tyres it all depends on how low you are, amount of camber, how much guard clearance you have and so on. But i like the stretched look both for clearance and for the looks factor (accentuates rim width).
i have 9s and 10s on my daily GS300 and i have 235/35 front and 245/35 rear. Many other go down to a 225/35 front for more stretch but i wanted a bit more meat since the roads are a little rough. Also depends on brand, as some tyres like Nexen (which i have) and also Nankang are cheap and stretch nicely, whereas Federals are a bit chunkier and dont stretch quite so nicely to look at.

i've seen 10+22 on an a32 just rolled/slight pull. i think you can pull (pun) it off.

i would just roll them for now and see what you need to do when you slam it.
