Hey King, if it's not too much trouble could you weight them?

[KingLT1]

Will do!

Thanks KingLT1! Have you picked out what tires and sizes you will run with these?

The owner has been very responsive. He sent me renderings of the wheel in my spec so I could get an idea how they look in case I wanted to make changes before finalizing. Pic below is similar to what I have on order.

285/35/20 555g2 front, 305/35/30 555r2 rear. I am currently running 245/40/20 555g2 front and 305/35/20 555r2 rear. I want a more aggressive offset, and the wider 10.5 wheel will utilize the 305 better than the stock 9.5. TBH, I have owned the car for almost 8yrs and I just want to change the look up a little more than anything.

305/35 on a 9.5 wheel...Nitto has been known to run small but has that changed recently to your knowledge? I could be wrong but I thought I read they are making them bigger now?

Tis the season to have obsessive compulsive disorder about the car so I understand wanting to change stuff

I'm looking at changing my wheels too. I was talking with KRNC as well. As far as his wheels go, I'm torn between the Scelus wheels you posted and the Storm Rally Spec (lightweight) I was also weighing out the idea of dropping to a 19" wheel but not sure if I should do that.

Just curious, what was your thinking going to the 10.5 vs 11" rear wheel?

Just for comparison, these are the Storm Rally Spec (lightweight)
I would probably go gloss black with my car though.

10.5 is lighter and will fit up to a 315. So I didn't see a point in going 11". Yes Nitto runs a little narrower. The 305/35 works on the 9.5 but it bulges a little. No issues other than it doesn't use all the tread pattern.

Got the wheels today. Look great...packaging was exceptional. I weighed both front and rear in the plastic bag, cloth cover, and foam rings. They came up around 27lbs. So 4-5lbs heavier than advertised but still pretty decent imo.

Those look awesome! Thank you for posting King! Will you have them on the car anytime soon? Or are you waiting till spring?

[KingLT1]

No problem!!

If we get a nice day, I might take it over to the shop and put them on.

[KingLT1]

Does anyone know if 285/35/20 will clear the front struts with a +25 offset? I am deciding between 275/35 or 285/35. Tire fitment wizard shows .5" closer to the strut. I read others in the past stating 285/35 worked on Non_MRC (which mine is) but they were using a +23 offset MRR wheel. Also, Nittos tend to run on the small side, so I think I am good, but wouldn't mind a confirmation. Lol

[KingLT1]

Went with 275/35/20 for front. Have tires mounted and balanced. Might try to bolt them up this weekend.

[KingLT1]

Had a little extra time today after work so I installed the wheels. Didn't take it outside since it's wet/icy and nasty out.

Looking good my man

[DeuceCam]

Looks great!
