So I'm a little pissed right now. I take advantage of the Konig special that Kyle had. I ordered the: KONIG TROUBLE 19X8 5X114.3 ET30 FMGRAPHITE wheels.They finally arrive yesterday, I had to go pick them up at the UPS warehouse. The boxes it came in didn't fit in my car so I had to open the box and load the rims in individually, no problem. I leave the two boxes by the garbage in the parking lot. I get to my place and i see on the box the size says 19x9. I'm like ARE YOU KIDDING ME. My question is will these wheels fit on the 3.5SE coupe with the Eibach kit? The offset is 30 and they are 19x9. Will I be alright or will there be rub? Do I need to call Kyle and express my dissatisfaction and have these returned for the correct set I ordered?

Why not email Kyle and ask him to rectify the situation first. Thats your best bet. Then post the results.

Will do, but I'll probably call him and ask him to rectify this situation because it's a quicker response time. I know with email he has so many, it's quicker to just give him a ring when he gets in.

Hahaha, I'm definitely not trying to "scare" anyone and I'm sure Kyle will take care of the situation.

Stealin has done it again.

The wheels you received are pretty similar to my setup. I went with 19x9 +29 and will most likely camber it and roll my fenders since I will be running on a lower drop(coilovers).

Coilovers? Which Comapany has produced them for this car? Where can we find this at?

My coilovers are specifically made for SEMA. They are not production, nor prototypes.

I would beg to differ. My issue with a stillen product is much less of a problem than yours so I essentially gave up. I suggest pestering the crap out of him until you get your answers. Use all forms of communication.

I got Margaret involved with this also. If I have to send them back and get my money back then I guess thats what I have to do. I'm not paying for shipping though, thats for sure.

But... 19x9 and +30 is friggin sweet. You should be fortunate that it worked out that way!

I believe some guy here is running TSW Thruxton, staggered, with a 9.5 width. You should be fine with just the Eibach kit.

I'm not trying to take any chances. I know I'm safe with 19x8 and the Eibach kit with 235/35/19 Vredestein Sessanta tires.

I'm running 20 x 8.5, with +35 offset and 245 tires... your 19 x9 with +30 offset and 245 tires would place you 12mm further out than my current setup... hmm, its a tough call, but if you're running 235 tires, you're onlyabout 9.5 mm further out than my setup... I would say keep em and go for it.. even if you have to roll the fenders, it will be very minimal!

I'll see what Kyle can do. He's working on a swap where I would go to the Konig warehouse here in NY rather than the warehouse shipping it from NY to Cali, then back out to me. Some policy Konig has. Hopefully I can just drive over there and have them swapped. I'm really trying to avoid rolling my fenders. I mean 19x8 with +30 offset is pretty damn aggressive as it is I think.

I got 19x8.5 with WIDE 255 tires (Wanted 245 but went larger)

you won't have a prob with those. I say keep them!!!!!! you won't rub with 0.5 more than me, bu9t i'm running +40 offset soooo I don't think 10mm plus 0.5 inch will rub. (<-- that new icon is craaazzzyy)

So you guys really think I won't have a problem with the 19x9's with a 30 offset and eibach kit. Very interesting. I will see how this plays out and what Kyle comes back to me with. Thanks for the input fellas
