RC350: Post Your Aftermarket Wheel Fitment and Tires
Hi! I tried to browse the RC - 1st Gen Threads but I couldn't find any thread dedicated to aftermarket wheel fitment and tires for RC350. I even tried the "Search" function but it's so limited.
Please post your RC350:
-Wheel Brand
-Size Front, Offset
-Size Rear, Offset
-Tires for Front / Rear (Tire Width/Aspect Ratio)
-Lowered or not
-Any rubbing?
Niche Essen M147
-19x8.5 +35
-19x10 +40
-Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/40 and 285/35
-RSR Springs w/ GMG alignment
-No rubbing
Nice! you do have bigger rear tires than mine plus lowering springs. lol! I'm glad it's not rubbing. I'm surprised you didn't go for flow-directional version of that wheel from other brands. I have one for you to try on.
By the way, you know the OEM wheel/tire spec of RC350?
Thanks! Btw, nice setup on your RC350. The rear offset is a lot more than oem of RCFs. I'm guessing the wheel design.
Thanks. I'm a newb at all this stuff. So I don't know much about offsets and all that jazz. Basically when it came to my wheels I contacted Work Wheels in Japan directly and asked for recommended specs. They came back with these and called it "conservative"
I am planning on purchasing new wheels/tires and most cars I see on this forum with custom wheels are RWD. I am wondering if I must keep the same size rims (width) on the front and rear since it's AWD ? I am considering staying with the factory 19 X 8.5 size but going with 255/35, which is listed as the optional size compared to 235/40. No mention of having to go with a different offset. Also considering going with 20's, but still would like to have wider than stock tires. Does anyone have experience with changing to different wheels on a AWD.
