On to the next mod: D2Forged quick question
Alrighty so now im onto ordering new wheels. I contacted D2Forged and they gave me a number for one of their NY distributors, Martino Auto Body in Glen Cove NY.
To make a long story short I am interested in the MB1's ( same ones on the black SL but in 19")
http://d2forged.com/v2/mb1.html
Derrick who I'm assuming is the owner or manager of the shop suggested that I go 8.5 in the front and 10's in the rear.
Now from what I understand 10's might be too wide/large but he tells me the peoples at D2Forged said it would fit. I like the aggressive setup but am I going to have issues/complications? The idea of fitting 10's in the rear tickles my nuts and I'm loving the feeling hahahaha.
BTW my ride is on stock springs but either today or tomorrow ordering a set of H&R or Vogtland springs until I can afford coilovers, that will probably be towards the end of the year.
As for tires what Ive planned is
Front: 235/35 19
Rear: 265/30 19
What are you thoughts about 10's in the rear?
If you have any suggestions/recommendations, speak up!
Salute!

That setup will look great. Might have to make a new plan for the rears @ 10" when it comes to the tire sizes. Bring on the 285's!!

I think what chrislis said is spot on. Get them built to the right specs and tell them the size tires you are looking to run. Then your going to need some help getting your party parts in the car!

Sounds great! Can't wait to get em. Still wondering whether I should keep them chrome or blacj em' out!! I really like the idea of black car, black rims & black exhaust tips. Matter fact, the headlights might need a blacj treatment as well...
