TSW Staggered Wheels on Coupe

[pakicoupe]

hello everyone...so i decided to post a thread showing pics of my wheels19x8 front 19x9.5 rear

[vi3t89]

does it stick out alot?

[pakicoupe]

Here u go...sticks out just a little, I'd say quarter of an inch and hasn’t rubbed yet.

[jmack]

Your Coupe looks great. Is it lowered? and what size tires on the 9.5's. Do you think you can go 9.5 all around?

[pakicoupe]

I have 255/35/19 on the back and u cant go 9.5" all the way around at least i couldn't with these wheels! it was affecting the steering wheel turning..we tried it on while i was getting them put on! and yes it is lowered

[AkAd3MiKs]

whats the offsets?

[D-Roll]

thats a sexy azz coupe

[Altima_Coupe]

Hey, could you explain that a little more? How was it affecting the steering exactly? Was the inside edge of the rim hitting something? I'm just really curious becuz I was hoping to squeeze 9.5" rims on the front with a drop someday in the future....

depending on the offset, if you go too wide in the front, it'll take away from your turn radius and rub,

[Altimus_Maximus]

Yeah, that's what I was kinda figuring - that the wider rim would hit up against the interior wall of the wheel well. If you ran a low offset of like 20 or something, then you push the placement of the wheel out of the well solving the problem - but then you'd be rubbing on the other side, the fender side of the wheel well!

It's just a shame, becuz 9.5" wheels look so good, but just putting it on the back, it would seem to me, would contribute to understeer, and is really a setup more proper with RWD, since understeer is not a problem in that case. Dunno... the wide wheels setups are awesome, plus in some styles of wheels, you can only get that super deep dish or super concave look if you go wide. But, staggering in a FWD car, from what I can tell, is a downgrade in your steering performance unless the wider wheel went up front, which would look odd and apparently, rub too much.

Regardless, the thruxtons staggered on your coupe, paki, do look really nice!

no rubs? roll it hard in corners yet?

I am suprised that the wheel-well gap is still apparent... over/under on diameter?

I thought that this would look much more sleeper with the 9.5s than it does

[FGFCacoupe]

Your car looks real good man

[Rmuth25]

Very nice...just curious...whats the tint % on your car???

[LongBeachCoupe]

my bet is 5% on the back.. nothing on the front

[RPx2.5]

Sorry if im kinda jacking your thread..im bout to own a set of g35 rays 19x8 front 19x8.5 rear. What size tires should i get that wont stick out much and not rub? Also will i have any prob having my car is 2.5..i saw a thread where this guy have rays but he has 3.5..and how much should i drop the car?also a set of rays for 700..is that reasonable or i could get better deals?they're used but minimal rash on lip edge..thx

[pakicoupe]

Well the wheel wouldn’t even sit on the front to a point where we could put the lug nuts on completely, wasn't enough space for the wheel to sit. And the whole steering performance concern didnt bother me because i went for the looks. i haven’t done any cornering yet we'll see what happens when i do, and the tint I got done from Nissan 35% front 2 doors and 20% rest of the way around.

[AkAd3MiKs]

you still didnt answer my question............

[pakicoupe]

The offset in the back is 35 by the way! i hit a corner pretty hard tonight and there was no rub...so far its GREAT

[Mr_Coupe]

paki what size tires do you have on the front??? i know u have 225/35/19 on the back right ???

[pakicoupe]

235/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear

[alphapig]

I don't see what justifies the Nismo badge and the license plate frame...

Just the exhaust, I take it?
