Opinion on some RonJon 19's
#1
Just picked up some RonJon 19's
And I know we all have them but I have been looking for some chrome 19's or 20's for my 400. I have found these for a good deal. Any concerns or recommendations?
RonJon Inspyre
19" x 8.5
5 x 114.3
Offset +42
Center 64.1

I like the 5 spoke patterns, I feel they would look good. Chrome...and yeah I didn't want chrome on mine but one cannot buy what wasn't available.
19" rubber is more $. 20" but that depends on your roads and how you drive. That is why I remain on the 18's. Near worry free with the direct sizes at 245/40.

The correct tire size would be 245/40 r19 right? Also, if I do get these I am going to take off my front spacer. Do you think I need to re-align if I remove the spacer?
Edit: Actually, looking at the tire size calculator. 245/45 r19 = .6% too fast is closer in spec compared to 245/40 r19 2.9% = too slow with OEM at 225/65 r16.

I'm unclear, what I mean is that the 18" 245/40-18 has enough sidewall to be of sufficient cushion for the usual road bumps. 19" one has to exercise more care and 20" more so. I like the looks of 19 and 20's though.
That is still a conservative fitment and you could see if you prefer it with spacers on or off. You'll need a hub ring for the larger hub bore. No need to need for an alignment.

With the hub ring, do you know what size is needed? I would like to order them and not pay the markup from the shops.
I did go ahead and purchase them. They retail for $435 each. I paid less then that for all 4. I really love Craigslist. I have been searching for a while and these popped up the day I returned from Dallas. Drove over there as fast as I could. Now the search begins for tires. I refuse to pay retail if I don't have to.

You'll need a 60.1 to 64.1 ring. $100.

Just have to call tire shops and see. The shop I buy from has prices equal to or lower than one of the big online shops. The wheels classified has tires so you could post up a WTB and see what comes in. I get a bit cautious buying used tires. There are good deals on low mile tires to be found from guys who don't get the fitment they want.

Thanks guys. I was looking on Amazon as well as eBay and have been unable to find 64.1 - 60.1 Tones of other sizes but not that one.
Edit: Found a set for $35.00 off JustForWheels.com Not many people have these.

i'm very skeptical in buying used tires on low profile wheels. you really need to have a keen eye for them so be careful. all tires have a date code of manufacture so you can tell their age other than appearance.
