Well, mine is nothing special comparing to some of the cars here, but my old 19" Alufelgen SF-71 was alright after all these years of pounding. Have a clean OEM look which I like a lot. Btw, these are for sale 235/35 19 front, 265/35 19 rear, Conti DW




Have a set of 18" Apex's new PS-7 right now in anthracite color for tracks. A copy of VMR 710s, but with higher quality flow forged construction instead of gravity cast, think they should be pretty indestructible as long as I don't hit a 2 feet deep sink hole. Pictures will be comparing this weekend. Tires are 255/35 18 on 18x9 et31 for front, and 265/35 18 for rear, running on Hankook RS3 V2.

mkPOTO, is that a supercharger I am seeing in your sig? Btw, think your track setup looks much better than your street setup But again, I am partial to concave wheels.

Should be no problem w/ 265, I run 235/35 19 on my street setup. You can also run 245/40 18 with that 8.5 wheels, you might rub a bit with the front of the fender liner at full lock, but you could just a heat gun to push the liner in by 1/4 of inch.

how sure are you ? im not trying to be a smartass im just askibg because im a tire/rim noob can anyone chime in and help me out? so you think il be good 265/40/18? or should i be safe and run 255/40/18?

As I said, I had 265/35 19 with 19x9.5 et35 wheels on the rear before with no rub. My rear camber was set at -1.7. You should have no problem with 265/40 18 with most tires, but you might rub with tires that have thicker sidewall (ie. Michelin PSS, most R-compound, etc.).

You can just play safe and go with 255 instead

Tire fitment isn't all about tire width. You have to consider wheel width, wheel offset, camber angle, tire sidewall shape, tire profile, and ride height.

What tires are you plan on running and what's your wheel offset?

0 camber??? Did your shop not give you an alignment printout after they are done?

Since you don't know the car that well, just go with 265/35 rear and 245/35 front... You should be good to go with whatever tires your run.
