Finally got these installed. I plan on putting them on my 87 pearl white turbo, but I test-fit them on my 87 white na. It will look better on the pearl white with some yellow fogs.

The suspension is eibach with tokico blues. The rims are sportmaxx 962 19x9.5. Tires are Falken FK452 245/35/19(rear) and 275/35/19(rear). I rubbed barely on the fronts already, but the eibachs are pretty stiff.

Wow those don't fit. Time to cut off the fenders and build some flares or go back to the drawing board.

Super Advan Gen. II/Series I.. 18x8.5F/+35 & 18x9.5R/+38.

From what I've gathered on here, some spacers could still see some use in making them fit more flush front and rear with rolled fenders. If that is correct, how much distance should be closed with spacers?

Lastly, I've figured tires at either 235/245-40 for the front and anywhere from 255 to 275-35 for the rear.. suggestions are highly appreciated.


Thank you for your time.


Edit: I went with 225/40/18F and 245/40/18R after speaking with my friend on the matter.. I'm sure I could have put a lot more rubber on there but my car isn't super powerful and I don't race.

19*8 +45 all around is that going to look like crap or ok with spacers?

235-245, 35-40 tires?

Tried to convince my brother to get something else but he wants something cheap...

Hey, when dealing with spacers how important is it to have the center bore to the correct sizing? Could i just use one with a larger center bore? The stock center bore (from what i was told) is 60.06mm. The ones im looking at have a center bore of 70.50mm. Also, i was on summit and they do not have any spacers with 60.06mm center bores. If i need the correct bore size where can i find the correct spacers?

Since i Suck that Tire/Rim Size i was looking for something in the area of

Front 235/40/17
Rear 245/40/17

HOw would this look?
Thanxz again guys

235/245 on a 7" rim :3d_frown:, if your looking for cheap rims you can get a set of staggered wheels on ebay for just under $700. thoses wheels might look good if they were 9-10" wide and hella flush, also the rims in the link have the wrong bolt pattern our cars use 5x114.3
