Rim Size, Is this a good fitment for our legends?

Infamous X · 01-29-08, 11:11 PM

19x8.5x45

the rim i'm looking at has a 2.5 inch lip, i'll get the link soon, i'm just wondering has anyone runned a setup similar to this, i'm definitely putting 19's on my sedan i just don't really want rubbing issues, thanks guys

This is basically it, they refer to them as "Stern Acura Specific rims"
has a center bore of 73mm and i found the hubcentric ring to accomodate

You'll have to roll the fenders and run a stretched tire....it's going to be close. Lip size is a function of disk type, back pad, and offset. Some wheels achieve a big lip by having a bowed disk, which is commonly known as a fake lip.

thanks for the insight, i hope this is not the case with these rims, i guess fender rolling wouldn't be that much of an issue, how bout if i go for just 8 inch wide would i still have to stretch the tire?

19x8 should work 19x7.5 will work i know guys on cardomain that roll on 20x7 that don't rub no fenders rolled either.

But the ones above are 8.5".

Why not get the PIAA Rossa or Work VS SS instead of the Stern. Stern quality has gone down since ADR started making them...plus, I think the Stern's are a fake 2 piece.
