It fits great with ZERO rubbing but sticks out a hair from being completely flush however im sure the top of the tire will sink in that hair once the eibachs are installed later this week. also, the tire shop who mounted all my tires weighed the wheel complete - it weights 48lb

all in all - im stoked!

i cant wait for my HID's to arrive... next mod will be a stillen rear sway bar and RLP endlinks

Looking to do the same set up with my 2.5 08 sedan. Is there any tire recommendations, will be lowering shortly there after. Plan on getting rims from online store shipped and purchasing and installing tire loc

245/40 or 45 would work just great ... lowered or not. the 40 series would be a bit close to your actual speed however the 45 series is within 2% at 60mph - nothing to even worry about imo.

as for what BRAND of tires ... that will depend on your driving habbits and climate

Thanks for the info. I got the wheels last week for a steal new in the box. I think I am going with 245/40/19 Michelin Pilots A/C. Did you end up getting hub rings or have any problems with the tire pressure sensors getting mounted? May end up taking it to the dealer to have them put the tires on and buy them from Tirerack.

i didnt install the tps's as it would be too much hassel AND COST to get them out of my winter rims only to have to put them back in when snow hits. i change over my tires 2-3 times a year so it didnt make sense. im planning on getting a second set of sensors so next time my summer tires are off ill install them

didnt need hub rings as these are technically OEM wheels ... no need for it as this rim was intended to go on a Nissan car.

for rim and tires ... imo thats an ideal weight considering what your typical 19" weighs (27-35lb + tire). just grab your stock wheel and hit up your bathroom scale. im sure lighter rims exist but at what cost.

Stupid question. Anyone ever have any problems going through a car wash with wide tires and big rims?

They should. Some other guy here runs them with 35's instead of 40's. May throw of the speedometer a little more. Run a comparison between in a tire calculator.

My question is I am running with 245/40/19 and want to drop it. I am already rubbing when I have 2 ppl in the back seat. Would a lower stiffer spring help or do I have to roll my fenders?
