VMR VB3 Hyper Black
19x9.5 front and rear!
+45
5x120 CNC milled to 5x114.3
centering rings

i love the color because it looks like black chrome

also concavity all around! mmmmmmmm

shop said to get 265/30/19 all around but
he's going to test mount 275/30/19 to see if there's any rubbing

i have to sell my G35 rims so i can buy tires :(

there's clearance with inner suspension and brake clearance.

i think 255/35 might be a better match..? Not sure if that size is easy to come by or not. Make sure to post up some pics of em once on the car :) love the choice of wheels!

^^ 255/35... no reason to go wider.

well i did it! 19x9.5 all around fits well!

my car is still in under construction and dirty as hell. i took off my LS tips to be repositioned when i have my type s rear lip on.

so i bought two used 245/35/19 and mounted them on the rims
i put them both on the driver side front and rear. i did a test drive to see if there's any issue with suspension clearance and rubbing. no rubbing what so ever even though im dropped with Tein S Techs (1.6F / 1.4R).

im getting two used tires 235/35/19 in a few days and mounting those on the front this weekend, while the 245/35/19 will go on the rear. also installing hub centering rings next weekend.

car will look a lot better when i have my type s kit repainted and installed with these rims and a car wash

tires look too beefy with 35 series. what you guys think about 30 series?

also i think i need to be lower with some coilovers. we'll see

CU2 just swallows big wheel with ease!

oh_lol

Are you a fan of stretching tyres a lil? I think 235 all around would like great

a 225/35/19 all round would look better if you were lower.

the reason the CU2 swallows wide wheels is because the offset is so conservative on these wheels. +45 is weak.

a 19x9.5 +20 with 225/35 and lower would be perfect.

nice for daily though i guess.

im looking into megan coilovers so i can drop it down to 2"

the other offsets are +22 and +33

i went conservative with +45 because i wasnt sure if it would clear the front

i cant stretch too much because i have a 6 month old son

im also considering 15mm spacers for the rears
