I'm debating if I should wait out the stock tread life or just effin throw these on!!!
Put 'em on as soon as You can! ))

Would be nice to see ET31 Face 3 in the rear, but this setup should rub. What tires will wrap your Volks?

Oh nice! This is going to look amazing. Volk ZE40's are one of the best engineered wheels that they've developed. They're lightweight and super strong making them an amazing wheel for racing. The design lends itself to the gorgeous looks. Great choice on the wheels man. Please post up some installed pics.

Yeah.... this is the most aggressive I could go without camber arms. 19x9.5+40 shouldn't rub and it's a face 2. Tires will probably be Hankooks v12s. 225/255

Strongest wheel Volk will probably make in the next decade. Same weight as the te37s. I can't wait!

I am running on the standard 17 inch alloy, and planning to upgrade to 19 but I am not going to lower the car, any one who running on 19 can share your experience if there would be any significantly downgrade of the riding comfort? or should I just go for 18"?

I'm on 19"s w/ stock springs. there is no downgrade in any way. just have to find a happy median w/ tire pressure to get good gas mileage. I'm currently getting 23 mpg city/hwy w/ my set up.

First, don't go 19 if You aren't going to lower your car. It will look like a 4x4 truck.

The difference in ride quality between 18" and 19" is SIGNIFICANT, so between 17" and 19" it gonna be doubled.

I thought the same thing...but I don't think my buckets looks like big foot...or grave digger for the younger crowd. and as I posted above, I went from 18 to 19 and the ride is still smooth. if you want to see what the stance of my bucket w/ 19's, go to my build thread and you can see.

Thanks everyone, maybe I should simply get a set of used 18" F sport wheels which looks good enough for me and also reasonablely comfort

Getting 18" Rays G25 seems a bit pointless, unless I lower the car and get the 19"

I went from 18s to 19s and dropped on RSR downs and the ride is just as good as it was stock. I think it all comes down to which tire is chosen. So in my case the ride change was not significant at all. Just my honest opinion
