WOW! SOME NICE RIDES!! Trust me those cars definitely convince me to drop it...just that funds are a little tight right now, what with buying four new tires, and the wheels and Supra Brakes which come in August .

Quick question though...Would 285/35/19 fit in the rear? Need to know ASAP as I've found a bargain .

I don't know your answer but I can tell you they'll need to know the offset and wheel width.

Thanks ChuckB for the advice

19 x 10 with offset of +37. I'm hoping 285/35/19's will work .

EDIT: Another quick question I have is...how much will the speedo be affected? Is there any way to make the speedo read the correct speed?

skeet94

Anybody?

Rominl will most likely have to pipe in on this. But, I believe if you go with the fat set up with the 19's, you will be out of spec. That would mean your speedo is not exactly correct. I don't think it is very far off. Like maybe 1MPH at 60MPH?

Here is my GS on a Fat setup, You can run 19x10 on rear. To be considered fat the tire size is 275/35/19 instead of 275/30/19

I've had lowered cars all my life, but I went really conservative on this one....Eibach Pros and adjustable Tokicos...that's it. The ride is still feels stock. Looks much better in person, and I have to take newer pics since it's settled a lot since then. I may have an "update" thread here soon, and I'll try to post pics then. Don't want to hijack this thread. Oh, and thanks for the comments.

The following link provides a report on MPH differences when you compare different whell sizes and tires sizes. Good for those thinking on a fat setup but worried about the speedo being off. Enjoy.

AH yeah..i think my speedo is off by 3mph so 57=60 or 60=63

That's excellent!! I've ordered a new set of 285/35/19 for the rears (Falken FK451's) and for the front I've got a set of 245/40/19's coming in I can't wait till I get the wheels on...I was originally planning on holding off until I get the suspension sorted out, but having the wheels just staring at me begging to be put on the car doesn't help either . Thanks for all the help so far REALLY appreciate it .

Anyone have any rear end shots with the wide setup?

I had 20x10 +38 with 275/30 tires. This setup will give the same diameter wheel as your 19s fat. I had the Nitto 555 tires on them. These tires are a bit more square. I am not familiar with all the Falken tires but the ones I've seen are a bit more rounded so it may fit better.

With my setup (which is 1mmless aggressive than you ), I had to shave the rear fender. 285s will make it that much worse. Again, tire manufacturer/style and current alignment attributes will play a role but you may find that you will need to have the fender modded.

Was the car lowered or on stock suspension? Cos I'm definitely picking up the Tein Flex later on, just waiting on something to be sorted out first, I know I'll have to mod the fender when lowered, but with stock height will I still have to?

Thanks,

Mitul.
