I want to get a set of the S5:F Rims for a 2011 Scion Tc I'll be getting. My question is; do they require new size tires as welll or can you get Rims sized for your existing tires as well?

If so, are there pros/cons of getting rims for the current tires vs new ones?

Thanks for helping a newbie out!

 

what size wheels are you looking at getting?

 

Im looking to get the standard wheels on the TC i believe they are 18"

 

tC2 rims are 18x7.5
S5:F rims are either 18x8.5 or 19x8.5

meaning S5:F rims require wider tires

 

ok the width of the 18s are 8.5. and that on stock tires will be alittle bit stretched but if you want they would still work. in my personal opinion. id get new tires. atleast 235/40/18.

 

dammit, that means it's gonna cost more, haha, well i'll wait longer. What are peoples opinions on painting the rims though?

 

hmmm scion website says 18x7.5...oh well not an issue to me, i'll go with what jtk2 said

painting rims...go plasti-dip

 

Maybe suggestions on best places to check out tires too?

 

sell the stock rims and tires to buy the new stuff!! lol. what color you wanting to paint them?

 

thats the stock wheels. the s5 wheels are 18x8.5

 

I saw a Cement Tc with Gunmetal Rims and it looks awesome.

 

id buy those. not sure why you would want to paint them but if you do. then yea plasti dip is the way to go.

 

Yeah I'd probably just purchase them depending how much tires would cost me. I'll wait and do it sometime after purchase I suppose or maybe find similar smaller rims.

 

if you want to keep your stock tires. then the best wheel size is an 18x8. thats what i have for now.. till i get some money for new wheels lol
