I know it's not that very good of a wheel but I think it will do the job. I'll just use it for daily driving, and maybe get a better wheels when I go to track. Lol

Well, As long as you know what your getting.

Enjoy! :tup:

Your offsets are fine. I would run the 245 or 255 up front and 305 in the rear. You will need to run some camber in the front.

Merv 01-11-2015 09:33 AM

Ya,but how much camber can he run without it driving poorly. Rolling the fenders is an option. I guess it depends on what op's looking for

My car is lowered, is that gonna be an issue? Do I have to lift it a lil more?

Share photos when you get them mounted

I'll chime in...
I'm running ES1's same offsets and widths, and yes the front will poke A Lot.
I'm on Michelin PSS 245/40 and 285/35 and they do not look stretched (PSS are notoriously wider than others in identical sizes)

But with investing in some quality front upper arms and rear camber arms you will be able to dial in these numbers for camber:
Front -2.0
Rear: -1.8
With this set up and camber setting front to back looks almost flush to the fender.

And as for the pothole yes vars' are replicas for 1/4 of the price you get what you pay for. I daily my Z 140 miles round trip from the IE to the OC across some BS construction on the 15/91/55/22 and the 74 for fun on Friday and have hit a ton of potholes and haven had anything close to that link happen.

So in conclusion: DONT BE THAT F-ING POSER THAT PUTS CENTER CAPS OFF AMAZING WHEELS ON YOUR SH!t YOU BOUGHT ON A BUDGET.

Live your truth. Any questions?

On swifts... You will need arms in front pretty sure you can run at max 235/35s and that's going to look awful trust me I've been there.

Thadragon 01-11-2015 11:51 AM

Cool.

Ideal up front is 255 or 265. Minimum of 245. Rear ideal is 275 or 285. Maximum of 305. I just went through all this last week and finally settled with 255/30R20 and 285/30R20. Everything looks great. No rub. Wheels are parallel with the tire walls. My offsets are now +8/+12 and I went up an inch from stock wheels...people will cry 'cause I stay 30 all the way around but it looks great and handles just the same. Don't let internet lawyers persuaded you into a "standard". Stay between the numbers above and you be fine. Good luck.

So coil overs would be a good next step.
