My new wheels!

Never got a chance to post pictures of my new wheels!

Rohana RF2-Gloss black
19x8.5 et35 245/35/19
19x9.5 et45 275/30/19

I do rub a little in the rear over major bumps, but nothing too bad.

I am also a dealer or rohana, so if you guys are looking for anything, let me know!

(I know someone will ask, the grill is from the c300, I made a custom bracket for it )

Looking good.

They do look a little snug on the rear. I looked the specs up and it said the 19x9.5 had an ET of +47? Anyway that is too tight for a 275 me thinks.

Enjoy.

Are you on H&R springs there?

And no issue with the +35 fronts rubbing?

My 2010 would have rubbed on the front with those specs lowered on H&R springs.

Thats would I would have thought Mort, but he does look lowered. I have the H&R and
was looking at +42, but....+35 would be better if it works

On my 2012 lowered on KWV3 I am running 19x8.5 ET +42 with a 13mm spacer and I have no issues with rubbing with MPSS 235/35/19. Not sure if it would rub with 245/35/19. I am running over 3 degrees of negative camber.

On my 2010 I think most of the issue was with the diameter of the 245s with H&R springs.

I think you will be fine with +35. I am going to run 9x20 +35 with 245 /30/20 when my new wheels arrive. I hope I have the measurements correct.

^ My understanding that a nicely flush fitment is F: 9'' width +40 offset. R: 10'' width +50 offset.

So, I'm thinking that your 9 +35 will be nicely aggressive and hopefully the wheel stretches the 245 just enough to work out without rubbing.

I am lowered on h&rs! I am running tires that tend to run a little smaller. I would compare them to an averaged size 265 tire. The fronts are 45 offset. On top of that I also have a 12mm spacer which would make it 33. It does rub very slightly in the front over big dips but nothing serious! I just love the flush look it has right now so it doesn't bother me! lol

19x9.5 +45 is too agressive with a 275/30/19. Even 265 might rub, 255 would be better but too skinny for what our cars need.

Looks awesome! Reminds me of the Niche Misano which I was debating on for my 14; ended up going with the Essens as I think the straight cut spokes fit and look better on our boxy/edgy cars.

I saw 19x9.5 ET 47 on the Aspire Motoring site. I just looked again and now it says 45. Maybe I made a mistake selecting wheel sizes earlier? Sorry for the confusion.

Nice set up!

What is it with dumpsters in everyones pics these days? It's like the new "in" thing...

Is it a symbolic message that it's where we are all headed?

Looks great see_sicky_tree. Can't go wrong with black on black. Are those custom HID housing/covers as well?

They are just lightly tinted actually! Talking about the headlights? or the lower led lights?
