Well I noticed there are about 3 threads a day asking
"What size wheels will fit my car?"
"What size tires do I need? Are they going to rub a coilover?"
"How much can I lower it?"
Hopefully we can get a central location for all of this information in this thread-
A. Post a pic of your car
B. Post wheel: Size, Width, Offset.
C. Tire make/size
D. If using spacers-size and manufacturer. Shortened lug bolts or not.
E. If lowered- what manufacturer and how low. Also, if using a camber kit or not.
F. Any issues with your setup or warnings about previous setups.

B. Post wheel: Linea Corse LeMans I painted Satin Black-19x8.5 F-19x9.5 R-Can't remember the offset right now.
C. Tire: BFG KDW II's- 265/30ZR19R-225/35ZR19F
D. If using spacers: 10 MM spacers on all corners-generic-shortened lug bolts
E. If lowered: Eibach springs 1.2" all around- No camber kit
F. Any issues with your setup or warnings about previous setups- nope

Sweet, Thanks for responding guys! I'm hoping we get everyone to post up their info so the next 400 or so threads about this can be directed here.

dynomite05

You have to message a MOD and see if it could be made into a sticky.

Mka77

A. Photo of car below
B. Miro 243 Monoblock VI - F 19x8.5 et32 - R 19x9.5 et35
C. General Exclaim UHP F 235-35-19 R 265-30-19
D. No spacers see below. RADUSA lug bolts 27mm ball seat.
E. H&R Sport Springs F 1.3" R 1.4" drop on stock struts and shocks - Ghostrider camber kit
F. H&R 15mm spacers on 9.5 rears with et35 rubbed slightly and wore out tires in 5k miles with no camber kit. 10mm would have been perfect with a camber kit installed.

JHouse

Ok, then I will try again over here in this "official" thread (not a sticky yet!):

I just saw this Forum Sponsor with incredible deals on just exactly what I'm looking for:

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-fo.../tc304350-2-1/

Has anyone bought from them?

Jamesbbh

Wes, any mods you recommend?
Oh and P.S. I'm digging the 18's VS the last set of 19's

Jhouse- negatory, I havent bought anything from them

dynomite05

Thanks, I'm partial to the blacks one also. That's why the 19s are still sitting in my garage.

Scroll down on the 209 home page and you will see the designated mods on the lower right hand corner. Any of those should be ok.

2MCHCAR

Hey Supafly, what ET are your rims? Did you experience any issues with Traction control or ESP because of your 275/30/19 tires? I want to get that same size tire (or even 285) and want to make sure my Car doesn't freak out because of the ratio change.

As for me:
Wheels: MRR GT1 Chrome 19x8.5F/19x9.5R ET35 all around
Tires: Falken FK452 235/35/19F - 265/30/19R
Spacers: 5mm front
Suspension: Stock Springs/Bilstein HD and No camber kit
No issues with this setup

Clkboi

Wes arent you on winter tires though?

dynomite05

Yea, but I think I will be keeping them on for a while. I love how they feel.

Jamesbbh

Thanks for the replies!
I messaged a mod to make it a sticky.

dr_npz

B. AMG Reps, powdercoated gloss black, 19x8.5 ET30 and 19x9.5 ET31
C. Michelin PS2 235/35 and 265/35 (changing next week for 235/35 and 265/30 Hankook V12s)
D. H&R 10mm spacers in the back
E. Lowered with K.A.W. springs and stock shocks. They are still doing good, changing for Bilstein B8s soon.
F. Rolled fenders in the back, but should be okay without it with the proper tire size - 265/30

Jamesbbh

Cars are looking good guys

Ive messaged two mods to get this made a sticky but nothing so far

Nola

Sorry man. We thought the awesomeness of your thread would make it stick all of its own, but a little help doesn't hurt.

EDIT: I also gave it the official *** to officially make it official!

dynomite05

Awesome! Congrats James.

Kevwood

Damn thats hot I never knew what wheels you had because of the rolling sig pic.

Black_CLK

billyhead1
