Wheels Again



I still really really really want 19" wheels on my car as street wheels.

I know. They are heavy and blah blah blah bad performance blah blah blah gonna rub blah blah blah. So I was going to give up as the tyre size I though I needed was unavailable.

But after a mail to Gami-san. My tyre size calculator says... It maybe possible

My car runs 205/45/17 = 616.2mm Dia /1935.2mm Circ
Nopro runs 255/40/17 = 635.8mm Dia /1996.4mm Circ
Thats +20mm Dia and +60mm Circ?

I want 19" so the Best Match
Based on My car is 205/35/19 = 626.1mm Dia / 1966.0mm Circ <- Unavailable
Based on Nopro car is 215/35/19 = 633.1mm Dia / 1987.9mm Circ <- Available

My car runs 205/45/17 = 616.2mm Dia /1935.2mm Circ
Best size is 215/35/19 = 633.1mm Dia / 1987.9mm Circ <- Available

Thats only +17mm Dia and +52mm Circ?

I can still lower the car more so the extra height is not an issue. So with tyres sorted so what to do?


Then there is the wheels.

My car runs 17"x7.5" +45 Nopro car runs 17"x8.5" +52 I guess 19x8.5 +50 with a 215 will stretch nicely. making it a bit smaller also. Probably go for these.

SSR Type-C RS Gun Mettallic = 19x8.5 +48 ~~~~9.36Kg Yikes!
Easy to clean and similar to what I have now.

Available Sizes more added here as I check.

Advan RS-D Silver 19x8.5 +45
Advan RZ GT-R Hyper Silver = 19x8.5 +45
Enkei GTC-01 Hyper Silver = 19x8.5 +42
Enkei RP-F1 Silver 19x8.0 +48 or 19x8.5 +43
G-Games NTL Shining Silver = 19x8 +50 and Cheap!
Gram Lights 57 Accellerate PRO Black = 19x8.5 +45
Racing Hart Zero1 19x8.5 +51

SSR Type F Matt Black = 19x8 +48 or 19x8.5 +42
Volk Racing RE-30 Chrome Silver = 19x8.0 +44
Volk Racing TE37 Bronze = 19x8.5 +43

Check here for me.

Been looking at Honda FD2 for fitting ideas as they should be the same size.

I'm loving these Reverse Rim chrome lip 19" items with high contrast. Now that the car has slight chrome and bare alloy in a few places. It would add a nice image.







If 18" is the decision then I keep returning to these OZ ultraleggra. There are two NC in Japan wearing 18" Oz wheels. This one has Titanium Silver and This one has Matt Graphite. Its a very tough choice If i decide to go that way.
