trying to decide on wheel sizes

DannyGT · 06-15-2009, 09:44 AM

It wont really looked streched but your definitly going to get that rubber band look...

with 9.5 width in the front you can at least go 265 even 275!

Remember just like the stock setup you go with a lower profile in the back because the wider the tire the taller it is...I would use tire rack for this part, because they show the overall heights of the tires!

When I put the stock rear tires in the front of my car, after all was said and done they were ~5mm taller than my rears @ 305's...I went to tire rack and low and behold they had all the tire heights their and I went with what you see in my signature now, which is exactly the same height front and back.

yea i definitely don't want that stretched look so if i go with 10.5 width rim in the front get a 285/35/20 tire and 12 inch width rim in the back get a 305/30/20 tire i should b good to drive and it would look perfect? doesn't that throw the offset off 285x.35 =99.7 and 305x.30 = 91.5 ?

i never realized how complex this is , thanks for all your guys help , i just dont wanna spend a fortune on rims and tires only to find out , they look like crap , i really only have enuf money for one shot at this , lol.... plus im not sure trusting the vendors it most just wanna rip u off

pick some rims you like and we'll check all the offsets they have....one step at a time...lol...it's either you make it or break it..one time shot.....lol

Asanti Wheels AF120 (Chrome)

nogoodname · 06-15-2009, 02:07 PM

the chrome makes it look ghetto..... you'd have to paint or powdercoat some of it.
and it's listed as 3700 plus the painting.....try another set...lol

this is the only asanti i like

4200 each !!! holy sh*!, u have really expensive taste , i thought i was bad , lol , wud the rim fit and if so what tire size should i get with a 20x10.5 in the front and a 20x12 in the back i was thinking 285/35 and 305/30

nogoodname · 06-15-2009, 02:32 PM

i was assuming ur taste.............my opinion is to get DDM's used rims with tires for 2100 ....lol
those tire sizes seem ok to me

4200 for the set....btw

Argos · 06-15-2009, 02:40 PM

didn't notice it was for 4 , still crazy how expensive these can get , but once i put them on i wont b changing them

nogoodname · 06-15-2009, 02:48 PM

there's got to be some cheaper priced rims....Asanti looks like those rims on those SUV's...lol

do you want 3piece, 2 piece or light wieght monoblocks??

Argos · 06-15-2009, 03:01 PM

honestly i think i just might get those asanti's in chrome in a couple of weeks if i can save up the cash , i just need to know if the tire sizes and wheel sizes will match up and not be stretched

nogoodname · 06-15-2009, 03:12 PM

yea, buy which ones you like...that's what matters

Argos · 06-15-2009, 03:31 PM
