New rims and tires.

[Jpump]

So, I ordered all my suspension components and I figured instead of waiting to get new rims and tires, I might as well get them too and do everything at once. I'm planning on ordering the rims/tires at the end of September.

For the rims, I'm going with SVE R355 19x10 and 19x11 in Gloss Black. I considered Bronze, but I'd want to see bronze rims on a Need for Green in person first. I have yet to see another Need For Green Mustang in person out where I live, so the odds of that happening are pretty low.

As for tires. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's. I like the PS3's on my car right now, but they're pretty loud.

With tire sizes, I'm planning on 285/35/19 for the front, and if possible, I'd like to run a 325/30/19 on the rear. If a 325 will rub, I'd just go with a 305/30/19 instead. Guess I'm just wondering if I'll have any issues with my desired tire sizes.

FYI LMR started their Labor Day sale so you can get a little discount on the wheels. 325 is too big for an 11” wheel, I’d stick with 305, maybe 315 but even that is a bit big. Conti ECS is a great tire, good choice there.

Looks like only certain sets are on sale that are slow movers. Nothing I'm interested in unfortunately.

If you are military affliated, they offer the 6% off any of the wheels and wheel combos. At least they did when I bought my first set of Velgens.

Unfortunately I'm not. I'm not concerned with a discount. The rims they have on sale are like $100 off anyways.

325 is too wide for an 11" rim. Even a 305 is too wide. At least if cornering is important to you.

Guess I'll stick with 285/35 and 305/30 like I originally thought. Thanks for the help.

The Contis run narrower than the Michelins. You shouldn't have a problem at all with those sizes. I run the 285/35 and 305/35 on 10x20 and 11x20 wheels.

It will all depend on your springs and how much drop. I’m running the BMR drag springs and the sve355 wheels. Same size you are looking at with 285 front and 325 rears. But with the firehawks since I got a great price and they have been great. No issues. I would highly suggest to go over the wheels and the do a good coat of ceramic. Mine still look as good as the day they were new, no fine scratches from cleaning or anything.

I thought about the Firehawks too. Maybe if the bundle that LMR sells is in stock in the next month. I do plan on ceramic coating the wheels. Guess I should start looking at brands of coating since I have no experience with ceramic coating.

I used GTechniq C5 Wheel Armour on my wheels. Applied it over the winter on my summer set. I’ll polish the wheels and reapply the coating over the winter for next season. Wheel specific coatings are made to withstand the heat a little better but most ceramic coatings can be used on the wheels as well.

I just looked at GTechniq C5 Wheel and Carpro Dlux Trim and Wheel. Probably going with either one of those.

Those were the two that I was deciding between for my wheels as well. Either one would be good IMO.

you can run 19x10 19x11 285/35/19 325/30/19 all day! if not we recommend 305/35/19 !

I've used both of those and Gyeon Rim and all three work great. I do recommend cleaning the wheels and reapplying at least every six months.
