I'm thinking about maybe switching up my wheels when the time comes instead of getting my current set probably powder coated ($100-$140 per wheel are where the quotes have been, so for not much more I can get all new wheels).
One of the better styles to me right now is the American Muscle Magnetic Style Black Wheel. There are a lot of different packages with tires, but based on other threads/posts I've seen on here I'm strongly leaning towards buying wheels only then getting Firehawk Indy 500s somewhere else.
I'm not sure if I'd rather go for 19x8.5" all around or staggered since I'm in a V6 and not too sure if I really need the extra rubber or if I'd just want it for looks.
BUT my current wheels are the Dark Stainless Premium ones that come with Pirellis that are 255/40/19. When I'm looking at the setups that AM prebundles they have a variety:
NT555 G2: 265/40 front || 275/40, 285/35, or 305/35 rear
Invo: 255/40 8.5" square
MSP A/S 3+: 245/45 front || 275/40 rear
MPSS: 255/40 front || 275/40 or 295/35 rear
G-force Comp 2: 255/40 front || 275/35 rear
P-Zero: 245/45 8.5" square
DWS06: 255/40 front || 275/40 rear
The Indy 500s come in a number of sizes that cover 245/40, 245/45, 255/40, 265/40, 275/40, 285/35, 275/35 so the only ones that I couldn't do are 305/35 and 295/35.
My question is...which size(s) would be best and fit nicely? I like the way the current ones look on my car, but I know there are some variances in the way different brands might fit.
If I went 10" all around for some reason, what size spacer would I need for the front to keep things flush without rubbing or hitting the struts?
Other info:
- My car is lowered on Steeda Sport Linears (with 1/4" spacer in the rear).
- 8.5" wheels have offset of +30, backspacing of 5.9" (150mm)
- 10" wheels have offset of +48, backspacing of 7.4" (188mm)
Thanks guys, not well versed on this area at all!
