Does anyone have a recommendation on stylish and really light 18s/19s for the 3IS? I want to get the most bang for my buck.

 

rays 57trancends, 18x8.5 all around, sadly won’t see them on until spring time

 

this looks so good!!

 

Love Avant Garde M510! So simple and so clean!

 

O.Z. Leggera HLT
19x8.5 and 19x9.5, RSR Half Down suspension, 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 tires

 

Has anyone run a 235/30/20 on the front with RSR Half Downs? I'm currently running a 225/30/20 like most people here but the stretch is a little much. Any extreme rubbing?

 

My signature says it all. Only rubs on the front at full lock.

 

used the wheels off my old car cheap ones but they looks nice to me

 

The engraved spoke is a nice touch they did..

 

That looks very cleannnn! What kind of rotors are those? straight bolt-on?

 

brakenetics gt rotors as far as i know for my car yes they were straight replacement for my oem

 

 

Finally mounted! Volk Racing CE28SL 18x8.5 +35 in front, 18x9.5 +45 at the back. Tires are Falken ZE914 Ecorun 235/40R18 & 265/35R18.

I'm still on stock suspension but RS*R springs are being installed next week.

 

What wheels are these?

 

Hey CL, Recently just purchased a set of Ferrada FR2 wheels which are coming in 3 days so i want to have some tires ready
The specs are:
Front: 19x8.5 et 32
Rear: 19x10.5 et 38
Car is currently lowered and settled on RSR downs

I spoke with a Ferrada Rep and also a Vibe Motorsports rep, both which seemed pretty knowledgeable. I insisted on the 19x10.5 et 38 instead of the 19x9.5 et 40 for a deeper concave look. When i asked the reps what tire size i should run in the back without any rubbing/fender work, they told me that I shouldn't run into any issues with 265/30/19 on RSR downs and that they've had customers done that setup too. But most people on this forum seem to only go with a 265 if the ET is 40+ and anything less than a ET40 would go with a 255 or even 245.

Horever Ive seen a few people on this forum with Coilovers/rsr super downs run
19x9.5 et 38 255/30/19 or 265/30/19
19x9.5 et 31 255/30/19 or 265/30/19
Since people who are lower and have a similar/more aggressive offset run a 265, Would that mean my setup should be fine too?

and with RSR downs I've seen plenty of people run velgens/vossens with
19x10.5 et 45 265/30/19 or 275/30/19
19x10 et 42 265/30/19
It seems to me that there is still some space to play with when it comes to the rear wheel and fender, and 7mm (the difference in offset) don't seem like a big difference.

So i guess my question is should i go with the recommendation the reps gave me and get the 265/30/19 or go with what i believe would seem to be the safer option and get a 255/30/19 for the rear? Hard to make a decision when every here runs a 265 only for et40+ while I'm assuming people who know the most about the wheels is telling me 265 is perfect.

I showed them the pic below and asked for the same setup, and they said it was the 19x10.5 et 38 with a 265/30/19 setup. Not sure about suspension tho but looks like a moderate drop like the RSR downs to me
