3GS wheel thread
#1471
Damn Vdm! Sick fitment... I'm always following status updates on you and yogi fatlace on wheel fitment. Lol. My question though is tire specs, instead of the usual 225-245/35s, your going 235-265/30s... Will this help with more aggressive offsets or you like to have sidewalls instead of the stretch? Cause I've been thinking of goin that route too.
Utoyz actually did the same tire size before on his 19x10/11 setup but with less aggressive offset. I did 19x9.5 +15 with 225-35-19 and 19x10.5 +15 with 255-35-19 on my last setup so this one will basically be very similar.
I'm estimating my camber to be -3 in the front and -5.7 to -6 in the rear.
Keep in mind, this isn't my daily driver so I don't mind the kinda extreme camber. If there's any questions, I'll try to help you out. I went through a few sets of wheels to find what I like.

I don't like the 225/245 as it's just too much stretch for me. More likely to debead. I rather run more camber than to stretch more. All comes down to personal preference.

I asked cause your one of the few with these offsets (and yogi) to run these. I'm over a few times at the 2IS wheel offset forums and they have atleast 300 pages and we're coming to a near 100 for the 3GS. Lol. Imma most likely run 235-255/35s as I see my Volks 19x9.5/10.5+22 sittin' in the living room everyday. Never have time due to work & school, just taking it one day at a time. Thanks a bunch VDMTom

This is why I love going on the forum for people such as yourself to be kind enough to help another brothah out. Once again thanks man, I even have a pix of your old set up on my phone to give me an idea of how mines is gonna come out. It's what you had on last February, 19" Advans RS but I didn't like the 225-245/35s. Lol, as you've mentioned. I didn't like the idea of a possible debead.

For 19x9.5 +22 and 10.5 +22, I'd run 235/255. The setup is pretty safe as long as you can buy the rear camber arms and toe arm to help get the alignment you need AND getting a rear fender shave. Keep in mind, I have no idea what ride height you have, so it can all change. My front fenders are pinched/shaved, the rear fenders are shaved completely. I recommend getting the arms rather than just "winging" it. Everyone gotta pay to play. If you need a hook on the arms, lmk I'll point you in the right direction.

The last and final look on my 3GS. Thank you SpeedElement for the labor | WDGarage in Fremont for the tires | Speed Image USA for the wheels. I would happily recommend any of these companies to any of you.
I'm running 19x10 and 19x11 setup with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 Hankook EVO 2 Tires and it's the perfect amount of stretch.
So Speed Element ended up installing the Megan Racing Front Control Arm, only to un-install it right away because it gave WAY too much camber right out of the box because I'm slammed. Since I am static, I was at -6 in the front, they couldn't correct it enough to let the car be driveable so I just told them to un-install it and put back the stock one. This arm is mainly good for air suspension equipped vehicles, as higher you go up, the less camber.
