KONIG TROUBLE 19X8 5X114.3 ET30

[legend_217]

Will it fit ? Thanks

I dont see why not. They are the right pattern. When I went into a rim shop the other day they told me I would want to lower my car a little if i went with 19's to get rid of the gap.

[legend_217]

did you install eibach pro-kit yet ?

There's more to fitting a wheel than the bolt pattern - the offset is *almost* just as important, if you're concerned with either having just enough wheel tuck or having your car look like a mentally-challenged F1 car.

Legend, the edge of that rim will fit approx. 22mm further out than stock. You might want to check around in the wheel sticky for someone running an 18 or 19x8.5 +35mm rims and see if they rub. The rim edge's width on 18x8 +30's will be slightly under that of 18x8.5 +35's (roughly 2mm).

Just to add, the tires you choose will also factor into the equation.

I just figure it out that the wheel offset is 30 is not perfect for me. I'm looking for +40. Freak ! They sell $100 for each. Do any of you know a good place to order with a reasonable price beside tirerack, tirediscount? I've been searching for a while now.

Tirerack.com was good to me. My tires cost $800 for all 4 of my all seasons.

See my car setup in my signature. I'm riding with troubles already. I'd definitely go 235/40 next time tho. I only rub with a lot of weight in the car going over very large bumps.

Tirerack has Konig Trouble ? lol Last time I check they don't

[maxentropy]

no no no... I got my konig wheels from Stillen.

I bought my tires at tirerack.com

If you drop your ride with the eibachs go with the following:

wheels: 19x8 +45 OffsetTires: 235/35/19

The setup above is slightly less aggressive and smaller than what I am running with currently but with my current 19x8 +35 offset and 240/45/19 I rub a bit when I have more weight in my car (bigger people) and go over larger bumps. normally mine is fine but I have to watch speed bumps.

Just a few tips!

[legend_217]

Ok. Thanks for the info but 2 more questions though. Is Stillen still selling those rims ? Do you think it will rub if I go with 245/40/19 ?

It was a special deal thru Stillen for a short time (due to some models of Konigs being discontinued) but you can call and ask Kyle or Josh.

I am currently running with:- KONIG Troubles 19x8 +30 Offset, Graphite- Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum 245/40ZR19 All Seasons- Front Eibach Pro-Kit Springs / Rear OEM Springs (for a more aggressive stance)

I only rub a wee bit when going over large speed bumps with lots of weight in the car. Otherwise no issues. I recommend if you don't want to deal with any rubbing that you go with the following:

- Wheels 19x8 +45 Offset (wheels will not stick out nearly as much as my +30 offset)- Tires 235/35/19

for 19s that seems to be the sweet spot-- mine is nice tho because my tires are a tad thicker as well as wider so more tire hits the road for traction. Plus the +30 offset means my wheels and tires stick out of the wheel well just a tad bit. +45 will stick you back inside the wheel well.

max, I'm gonna bother you again. So I ordered a set of Konig Trouble and ordered tires at tirerack too. But I'm not if I can install them by myself. Is there any store that can do the job for me ? (just tires, american tires...etc) and where did you order lug, locks and sterms ? what size are the lugs ? thanks a lot

Do not do this yourself. I repeat, do not do this yourself! After fitting the tire onto the wheel (which is a pita for our size tire/wheel combo) the tire needs to be balanced and unless you have the machine to do that-- take your tires and wheels to a shop that does.

Here is what I paid at a local place in PA for rough comparison:

$15 per tire mount and install / balance$70 for alignment

You don't necessarily need an alignment if its good already but mine needed to be done with all the potholes around here anyway.

Your current lugs can be re-used on your new wheels, less you wanna buy new ones for whatever reason... My locks I got from my Nissan Dealership when I bought the car (was free incentive but retails for like 40-60 bux for the 4 lug locks and key). Stems, my wheels came with regular black, but you can get whatever you want. I think LongBeachCoupe had some stems that said Nissan on them or something...

good luck bud!
