Did you have to roll the fenders? Looks great.

Good eye Jack. They're SAC 19's from Champion with Bridgestone so3's 245/35/19 and 285/30/19. There's no spacers and I didn't have to roll the fenders. The ride is pretty stiff, but really nice on the highway. It rides a lot like a 360 now. There is zero body roll.

Thinking about adding some 5mm spacers though.

Did you get your wheels directly from Champion?

No, I had all of my work done at CEC in Los Angeles.

I think it's kinda interesting how it seems a significant # of people are upgrading their fitments & tires with 19s........and choosing rim widths & tires that are significantly wider in front than OEM (20mm) and narrower in back (10MM).
So, is this pretty much because a priority here was planning for a tire size that would be easy to find & buy.....or am I missing something?

maxwell

actually the tire sizes aren't that different at all. A 315/25 Yoko is very close in size to a 285/30 Bridgestone and a 295/35 Pirelli. My rear tires are almost exactly the same size as the stock Pirellis that came on the car. I did get the 245's in the front because at the time that I got these, Bridgestone didn't have a 235 up front.

wow 265 up front how does that work??? you have to roll the fenders?

maxwell

not at all actually. The 285 and 315 do not refer to actual mm. If you compare the tires directly you will see. Every manufacturer is different. Yokohama really stretches their sizes. From what I understand Pirelli is the closest to the actual size.
