Default Sneak peek at my new rims *pic*

Staggered Stern ST-2's in hyperblack. The one pictured is a 19 X 9.5 (+35 offset). The tires on the back are 275/30R19 Kumho SPT's. The fronts are 19 X 8.5 with 235/35R19's.



EDIT ! Here they are on the car during the day:











Yes, they are 'cheap rims' but no, I am not racing. These are for show and I think they look amazing. All I need to do is roll my rear fenders on Wednesday and I'll be good to go.

Loving that lip action...

Don't you mean the tires on the front are 19x8.5?

They're 19 X 9.5 on the rear and 19 X 8.5 on the front. Not too skinny IMO.

And yes, they'll clear.

9.5 on the rear is a little better...The reason I said that is that I ran 8.5 aftermarket rims for a year or so and I hated them with a passion, they were embarrassing.......I would look at the rear tires from a distance and say man, they are skinnies and absolutely look pathetic...

Now I have 10.5 on the rears and they look pretty fat....Such a difference on the rears in looks and traction......The fronts you can't see so your fine their...

Yeah? How do you like them? I have read that they are great for wet weather and they have a very long tread life. I guess we'll see how they go !

Damnit, I can't wait !

Jibby, I see your point, but I gotta disagree that 9.5 are "skinnies"...They are pretty wide, IMO. Remember, the stock wheels are 7"...Now that is "very skinny"...

I only have 9" in the rear and they look wide enough.
