That turn-down tip is a nice touch

What wheels are those? Car looks sick

Why would you want to replicate the trash stock setup?

I hope vivid has good refund policy

Tire rack recommendations are terrible

Torpy122 · 04-17-2020, 10:44 PM

The wheels were recommended by vivid. But for the wheels, i need to choose tire size. I'm trying to remain in the same diameter to maintain speedometer accuracy. I also want to avoid any abs issues.
Any suggestions for the wheels above?

OptionZero · 04-17-2020, 11:24 PM

Like i said.

A refund.

and you should do your own research instead of relying on Vivid or Tire Rack . . . neither of whom specializes in our particular chassis

I mean just as general advise, you should learn how tire and wheel sizing works before giving anyone $2000.

Oh boy, here we go again.....

Torpy122 · 04-18-2020, 05:00 AM

Heh thanks for your insight. I've been trying to research all week. I have asked multiple sources. Read through this post, reason why i posted here. Used tire size webpage to try and calculate the dimensions to try and stay close to oem diameter. Thanks for the help

OptionZero · 04-22-2020, 02:44 PM

Gonna need more camber to avoid rub, especially with a 275

the track guys that are using 18x10.5 +18 (or thereabouts) with a 275 are at around -3 camber

Just look at the last picture and you can see the available clearance. Another 10mm outward . . . well, you should see the problem

KuroZ · 04-23-2020, 02:01 PM

Yeah, I see the problem, just wanted to double check before I made a decision on which one to get.

Thanks for the info, I didn't even know the guys had to run -3 camber for that setup.

LMAO, like OZ said track setup! I am on 18x11 +18 and 18x10.5 +15 (after spacers) and run -3.3 front and around -2.2 rear. For street I have ran at -2.5 front and -1.8 rear.

You really need to get educated or just have faith that we that know something won't steer you wrong and will call out those that will.

You can roll the fenders, but I think most people have installed adjustable front upper control arms to get the necessary camber to clear. SPL is the best solution.

Sharad909 · 06-15-2020, 12:40 PM

Okay, I'll start looking into SPL. I also may roll the fenders lol
Thank you!

That's going to look nice once you lower the car and add camber. You may want to run a smaller spacer in the rear, maybe a 15mm. The amount of camber you will need to get the tire back under the quarter will make the car a little less fun to drive if you care about that sort of thing.
