Those are some very nice looking wheels…how much weight was needed to balance your tires? Count the inside and the outside for each wheel…I’m just looking for data points.

When I mounted my 19X9 wheels, it looked like the rears had the least room and my guess was that 9.5 would work and I doubt that 10s would. But my guess was based on a +40 offset and yours are at +44…inset more than mine.

With 255/35ZR19 tires, I feel a little rub when the searing wheel is at full lock only. On a hard bump, I hear a momentary rub, probably on the inner plastic fender splash guard.

 

Dang, the 9.5's don't even look like 9.5's on the tC2, unlike the tC1. Looks good. I would say go lower but the s-techs are a great start. Does Rota not include caps?

 

Thanks man! They have caps, but the castle nut for the cv axles sticks out to far in the front to pop them on. Im looking at the volk style cap as we speak

 

^I had the same problem with the Enkei's. The front axle sticks out far more than it needs to!

 

^ 1stOne are you still thinking about getting some spacers? Do you think it will work with the extra 5mm of poke?

 

Fearz - i think the 38 offset will work with the right tire

 

That's what I need help with. Call me a noob but I know nothing about tires except how to find the size. I know it would be a stretch but my tc will stay at stock height for a while if that helps.

 

damn looking nice.. i wonder how much poke will it look like on a +38

 

The lip would be 5mm out from the fender in the front, it would look good. The back would be flush. Im gonna put some 5 mm spacers on one day...I like the way it is sitting now. The springs settled a little and its about a 1 finger gap on all corners.

 

around how much did you all pay for your s-techs?

h-techs? trd?

 

i got my s techs on ebay for like 220 shipped. As for the other springs, im sure they are around the same money

 

I might be awhile because I was just e-mailed my grids are now on backorder.

 

i was thinking id get 18x8 this time coz i had a 18x9.5 +38 rota grids on my 1st gen tc and it rubs hella! and i dont wana be the same spot i was before so im tryin to go for sumthin flush this time.. 18x9.5 +44 might be a good idea..

 

lose so much concavity from the 9.5 to the 8 though, the et45 would be a better bet

 

on a 9.5?

thread jack here lol

 

Yeah sorry to threadjack. Look at the concavity difference in the face from an 8" to a 9.5" - way different. Good to see that they make an et45 now, space out to liking. I just know that the et38's were aggressive, but looked so so good.

BACK ON TOPIC...

 

^^ agreed

 

I'm running some 18x9.5 et 35 DPT's with a 255 tire . And yes, they are purple like my intake lol

 

Cool. What are lowered on?

 

I'm dropped on tein s-techs right now but want to step up to some coilovers when more become available
