Default Need some help

I have set of Volkracing AV3 on 19's, somehow it just don't look big at all, IMO it looks like 17's from a distance. anyway, I was try to get a different set of wheels (19" of course), I was wondering any one had any idea about this "Sebring ITC-X" rims? are they good rims as AV3 since it made from the same company? I am thinking 19X8.5 with +40 offset in front and 19X10 +40 offset at rear, will this setup rub?

thanks in advance,

George

Default Fine

I think your setup looks fine the way it is.

Tinygs just put 19x10 w/ a +41 on the rear (285 tire) and had to trim the fender.

Unless you like the stretched look (too small of tire...say 265 or so), they will be rubbing.

Good luck.

The Sebrings would look bigger because the spokes run all the way to the edge of the rim. However, if you get a five spoke rim with a larger dish, it will definitely LOOK huge. I think you can go +37 front and +37 rear........... Let me know if you need ideas???

george,

hudini is correct... the way av3 spoke is designed(curves in) makes 19 looked bit small...i have seen your car at the dealership where i work, longo lexus, and i was surprised that they are 19s:eek:

itc is made by RAYS, supposed to be good rims. BUT i know of 2 owners that have spokes cracking in the past...my possible conclusion is either of bad road/pot holes, or just bad wheel batch...
