I can fit a paper business card in there?

I'll need at least 5mm spacers to be safe, i think the tire will rub and pop if not. Since I'm going to get spacers, I might as well run a 20/25mm spacer all around to flush it out a bit.

I was going to run a 235/35/19, I'm still undecided if I'll need the moderate stretch or not, I'll have to go down to a tire shop and have them 'test fit' the tire to see if it will clear, AND get the spacers LOL. Plus, I'll need new lug nuts, lil slimmy's that will fit in there since the holes are pretty small.

So....crappy wheel fitment? Maybe not if this were Club Lexus. I think I can work it out to be a pretty decent sized rim, with a lil spacer help.

Excuse the dirty car, it is hot, and I don't want to wash it until I get a new buffer to give it a full detail.

Do a mild stretch and they will never touch. Looks like you'll need spacers anyhow once it's down. Done deal.

they went to a good home....err....car.

i wanted 19's anyways, robert just talked me into those profounds. i feel 20's are too big for the gs, and 19's fit perfect. look at GATO's car.....19's, and it fits PERFECT!


they'll be showing up to a meet or post near you, sometime soon. it's a buddy of mine who bought them, but i'll let him post them up when he's done with his car, which reminds me, i need to talk to robert lol.

Yeah, I was kind of iffy, but at the price I got them for, it wasn't a bad deal at all. I think I may just use a slip on 5mm spacer for now, and then get the adapters later, or just buy extended wheel studs and 20mm spacers then.

nice going...it will look clean once droped and spaced out....should look clean and classy

go 25mm all around....and 225/35/19 should get you a mild stretch on a 9.5.....well I guess it depends on tire brand...

I was refering to 452's... I got a 225 on a 9 and its pretty weak stretch...

so a 225 on 9.5 should be what your looking for.....wow....this is cool smiley......:runcoold:

Remember to keep in mind 452's are wider than other tires in the same size :)

my 245/40's on a 9.5 is very very mild stretch. A 225 would sit perfect, 235 might be a little bit wide for your style.

I'm not looking to stretch, A LOT.

Something mild, that would really only be to guarantee clearance issues.

The pajamas are pimp, that's how i work on my car lol.

I need to hit up robert about some other stuff anyways, i'll ask him for the cap too.

I'll also talk to this chick, and see what she can score me for tires then, she's got some good deals on the falken fk452's.
