Default Just ordered my wheels!!

Just placed my order for rims.

I wanted lightweight affordable wheels for the track so I went with the Enkie RPF1. These are gonna be a square setup, I ordered 19x10 +22. Ill be picking em up Friday and ill have pics soon. Just excited about finally getting rid of the ugly base wheels lol.

One question tho. I want some meaty tires on these, any idea what sizes I could run ad what they'd look like?

Update 3-24-2013
So sorry Ive gone for a while here's a pretty good update on the wheel situation. Ordered my Wheels and while Waiting for them to be shipped, I was rear ended

Luckily the Damage was only Cosmetic and Scott @ Relentless Autosports really took care of me. I highly recommend him for any type of work you need done to you car. Here are some pics or the "carnage"




Anyways while all that was happening I was just being teased.....
Tires came in. 255/40/19 Continental Extreme Contact DW


Then the Wheels came in finally


So I got them mounted and now played the waiting game for the car....


When I got the car back the first thing I did was mount the wheels lol I dont have any good pictures of the car........YET. The work done was top notch and I even got the Stillen Roof Wing installed while it was being fixed(pics of that coming soon). Here's my favorite Iphone picture I have so far


And here's the instagram edit lol


I know the Pictures are shitty but I have a shoot planned for the weekend so it'll be updated then.

UPDATE 3-29-2013
Shot some pics this afternoon here are some of the shots I liked. None are edited btw
The lighting on this one was bad but I still liked it and you can see the stillen wing here.


Fitment shot.


Booty


Detail shot


Side Angle


Favorite shot

How much camber are you running? 19X10+22 will rub on the front with a meaty tire setup. 275/35 square setup would be good but as stated, without enough camber you will rub. When I was at 18x9.5 +20, I would rub on big bumps. Now I'm at 18x9.5 +25 and work fine. The 19x10+22 sticks out .3 inches farther then my 18x9.5 +20 setup so you will poke out of the fender about 1/2" if you are around my camber which is about -1.7 degrees on front.

Here's the calculator I've used that is VERY helpful.

I dont have any camber kits, but I'm dropped on swifts, and when I went for my alignment, the guy told me he couldn't adjust the front at all so I'm assuming I'm running a little more than stock.

So you are around my area since I'm a little lower the swifts with no camber kits either. A 255/40 will get you the clearance you need with stretch but the real fix is you need a camber kit to run a bit more camber with a 275/35 square set up. -2.5 ish camber should do the trick which is great for tracking anyways.

2.5 sounds nice but this car is also I daily driver so I'm not tryin to run more than I do now because of camber wear. So a 255/35 would run clean?

You said I would defenitly rub. But do you mean like under heavy load the track? I'm planning on running stock camber for daily, then add some negative camber for the weekends when I hit up the track.

I mean you wheels/tires are going to stick out of the fenders probably close to an inch at stock camber settings. If you are dropped on swifts then your fenders are going to bite your tires on almost every decent sized bump at decent speed.

Exactly why I have gone 18 x 9.5 at ET22 for front and ET12 for the rear for my square track setup. I'll be running 265/35R18 R-Spec tyres as low OD drops the car but retains standard suspension angles. I run an adjustable FUCA (Eibach but it is not perfect so I'm getting some made from CrMo tube with a milled adjuster and heim joint so I can get more than the -2.5 to -3 deg neg available with the Eibach (tyres need 4+).

DD wheels are 18 x 8.5 at ET33 and rears are 18 x 9.5 at ET22. I could space them out a tad, but who cares for DD.
