295/35-19 Square GTPP (Pics Inside)

Here's my setup, with thanks to Paul@PKAUTODESIGN and PK Auto Designs. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I highly recommend for the knowledge, information, and quick service once you're ready to buy.

295/35-19 Continental ExtremeContact Sport
19x10 Ace Alloy AFF02 Matte Black 35 offset using 72/62 hubring
Weight:
Wheels only: 24.25 lbs per w/cap
Wheels with 295 tires sensor and wheel weights: 53.95 lbs per

Wheels were coated with Chem Guys Carbon Flex

Suspension: Steeda Linear Sport springs & Pro-Action adjustable dampers

Pics were hard to angle just right, but the fit is flush at the top of the wheel well and starts to poke about halfway down. ZERO clearance issues on the front with plenty of room to spare. It was dark, but looks like about an inch from the strut.

These Contis are 10.3" wide according to Tire Rack. Diameter is 27.1" which matches the stock front diameter, but .6 less than the stock rears. Revs per mile are 767.

Pardon the Hurricane Irma mess and try not to make fun of the stab wound on the bumper. I'm researching body shops to find a good one here in Orlando before I let them touch it.

Looking awesome !!!!

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help you out.

Great looking wheels. Love squared setups!

Squared setups love you lol :lol:

I really like the size and fitment of these wheels. one question?.. for the hub ring this is just referring to a centering ring or an actual wheel spacer

Nylon centering ring. Very little, just enough to snug it up. No spacers at all.

Very meaty. I like it,

Big fan of this setup! One question, do you feel the 295's causing your car to steer more on uneven roads? How does it compare from a daily driving perspective to stock?

I'm looking to go square either next Summer or later in the year. My dream wheels were HRE FF01's but they are honestly way out of my price range. I was thinking about Forgestar but wasn't a big fan of the design since I prefer the Ace design with less spokes

I haven't experienced any steering issues. If anything, I was pleasantly surprised that the feel was still the same. I can still turn the wheel with the same pressure as before. This wheel and tire setup is roughly 10 pounds less per corner, so that likely helps.

I don't travel on a lot of rutted highways, but I would imagine that it would be the same as any car with trying to get out of the grooves.

The Steeda suspension was installed about 3 months after I drove off the lot, so not exactly stock other than the PZeros. The Pirellis gave me low confidence in taking turns hard. We don't have a lot of great roads in Central FL to play on, so I like to take right and left turns at speed when it's safe to do so. The sidewalls on those PZ's seems like they rolled way too much, and I felt like I was sliding sometimes. Launches had hardly any grip.

The Continental ExtremeSports are a MUCH better tire, but to be fair I'm also much wider than before. Launches get good grip pretty quickly and those hard turns feel like I'm on rails now.

I really want to get to a road course but it's hard to find the time. The car feels really confident now. Even if staying stock wheels, as many have said here-get rid of those Pirellis.

thanks for the response. I really want a 19 inch squared set up and your set up looks perfect with the drop you have. now I just have to find a wheel the wife approves of. its easier to modify the car when she likes it... lol. I haven't showed her your set up yet

Very nice! That would look good on my Magnetic PP too.

(Your pool cage would not have survived down here. I told a few owners to remove a few screen panels and they didn't take a few minutes to do so..........)

Looks nice, I like it! Couple of nice roads in NW Orange by my house and just inside Lake too if you need to break them in ;)

When you find a decent shop in the area, lmk. I've got a nice scrape from the previous owner on the rear bumper that needs to be touched up.

Haha... Ours is missing several panels. It needs to be be redone. Bought the house a year ago and the inspector (and us) didn't notice the loose panels. It was 11 years old, so it was due. Sure would have been nice to catch that $3500 expense prior to closing, though.

I looked at a ton of designs. This particular one has several takes on it from the different manufacturers. Ace was a good choice for me because they fit without spacers, which was something at the top of my wants. I really liked the P51 wheels, too. In the end I liked this look the best.

There were two things I didn't like about these wheels. One, they have tiny holes as part of the design around the lugs. Pain in the ass during cleaning because they accumulate water. Have to q-tip them. Second was the lug nut holes weren't finished in black like some of the other wheels. Definitely not deal breakers or anything. Just different.

Lightweight, flow forged. Excellent finish. I've gotten a lot of compliments.
