Default tire size for IFORGE SENEKA wheel ?s...

I have ordered a set of IFORGED Seneka wheels. The rim sizes: FR: 19 x 8.5 RR: 19 x 11.5

My question is what is the maximum width of tire that I can fit on them without having any rubbing issues? The car will also be lowered at the same time. I was thinking something along the lines of 245/35/19 FR and 315/25/19 RR.

2001 996 TT
Techart/PSS-9

thnx!

Default your opinion on IFORGED wheels

Well, as the header states. What has been your experience with this company? I'm looking at getting a set of wheels from them, but don't know much about them. Are they strong?

thnx!

IFORGED wheels are relatively popular with e46 M3 owners so you may want to check a few of the BB's for their owners' opinions and experiences.

M3forum.com is a very popular site.

That would explain the relative lack of activity...

I wouldn't order from them unless they clean up their act, there have been a large number of complaints towards the company for having very poor customer service....

it was on a bmw board, but when you are spending that kind of money on wheels be sure that the customer service is going to stand by their product....

I have just ordered from them too. One of my friends is a friend of someone in the factory, and one of the reason they are a little slow is that they recently moved the company. The wheels are similar to HRE as far as strength, and I'm told that they use the same bolts to assemble to rims. As far as weight the are comparable to the other forged 3 piece wheels. Tp answer your size question most guys use 305/25, but I have seen the 315. It will fit even when you lower the car, but that depends on how low you go.

I have heard that IFORGED wheels are made on the same CNC as HRE's. That is why the logos look almost identical.

An Update:
Some of you guys are right about the company's customer service. This has got to be the worst company that I've dealt with. In fact, I've canceled my order.....

I was going to order a set for my 00 BMW 540i6 last year. A couple of treads on the e46 forum scared me off. Months of waiting and excuses. Not just bad customer service but they will mislead and lie every chance they get. Not from my own experience, just what i read. But they do look nice. Very rare too. But probably because no one ever get their wheels.
