^^ Cus it looks good. F' performance, if you wanted a fast car, you shouldn't have bought a tC.

On a side note, I wouldn't run FK452s. From the VSC forums, I've read that they've been known to bubble pretty easily, and are probably 2x the price of the Federals you picked up. Have you tried looking at Nankangs? I've heard pretty good things, they enjoy a nice stretch, and are pretty inexpensive.

Goodluck with the search. If you don't mind running ____ty tires, and just want a good fitting tire, look up Falken Ziex 512. They're discontinued, but Discount Tire still carries them. They fit like a dream, but be warned, they are some pretty shietty tires lol

 

where is the cheapest place to get tires for those rims??

 

Depends on your offset. I run the same widths as you, Falken FK452 225/40/18 in the front, and 235/40/18 in the rear. I had to cut/roll my rear fenders + run at -2 camber.

 

i'm selling those same rims. Monarch j2 mesh 18" in silver. i need to sell i asap so pm me if your interested..

 

Whats the offset on your rims??

 

18x8 front. 18x9 rear. they have a 35mm offset

 

^pm me price for the wheels.

 

NO,
The question is for stark_industries.....what is your offset??

 

I would do 225 front and 245 rear and roll your fenders. The tires will still be stretched a little - but shouldn't harm them.

 

245s wont fit

 

Still think it's dumb as SH*&

even though you have supplied me with enough wit for the rest of 2008.....

 

I do have the prototype. The one pictured was in Tim's (the owner of killerglass) tC & is now mine.

 

Im thinking im going to go with 225/35/19 on all 4 tire like nebster said he ran with or 225/35/19 front and 235/35/19 rear. I think i might be safer with option 2, and just roll the fenders in the back because im going to get the Seibon 10mm wider cf fenders and just paint them blue blitz mica to match the car.

???

 

why is a 225 safer? i'm assuming you're not going to auto x or race your car anyway because if you were you wouldn't be going with 19's, so why not go with the 225s? you may still rub a bit with them, but your wheels are pretty conservative for 19s.

 

I was saying that because of the recommended tire size for that diameter size rims on falkens web site.

That and I have to drive 40 mintues to work everyday on the hwy in the middle of the desert. So I just want to make sure I do the right thing and go with the safeist choice tires for me.

conservative, Yes but I get alot of comments on how nice the rims look and thats fine with me. I dont really need 3000 dollar rims to be happy.

 

i never said that at all!!!!!

i was saying conservative that you may not have to roll with a 235!!!!!

but you may have to, a 225 i can guarantee you wont have to roll, a 235 you might be ok because your rims stick in. i wasn't bashing your rims at all. i can if you want me to

 

I know Neb, no big deal hahaha...

No thanks I dont need you to verbally bash my rims. lol hahah...


Didn't you state that you where on the same set up in the past? with the 225's, but what brand tires where you running at the time?

How was the stretch etc on the 225's if you where rocking the 19 inchers.

 

i was but mine was more aggressive. 8.5 et+32 front 9.5 et+ 30 front.

stretch was perfect for me

 

hey neb what do these numbers mean??

et+32

is that the off set??

 

yessir
