What size front wheels did you get?

Forgestar CF10s put on the rear so far. No front yet because I havent picked out my front tires. Might swap over my stock front tires for now.

But I took some weights for the rear for those interested:

Stock REAR PP wheels/tires = 63.5# each
CF10 19x11 with NT05R 305/35/19 = 56.5# each

I weighed lugs, center caps, etc, and gathered that I am saving an additional 1/4# per corner from that stuff, so once all 4 wheels are on, thats 1# savings in the lugs pretty much... ya tiny but whatever I measured it LOL.

So with just the rear done, I dropped 14.5# of rotational weight. Not bad to loose weight while gaining grip. Time for a drive!!!!!

I have 9.5 w 275/35R19 NT05's

I have the same front size.

That is probably the front tire I will end up with. I wanted to try and keep the stock 27.1" or so up front, but I dont think I can, because the next tires I can find with the same diameter are like 305s, which aint happening.

go on nitto's website, they have a 255/40/19 in NT05

Ya I could always do stock size but I do like wide tires for the most part. There is a RE-11 in 285/35/19 that is 26.9" diameter (less expensive than NT05s too), but that might not look right on a 9.5" wide wheel in the front, and I dont even know if it would fit the car with my +25 offset up front.

does the TPMS fit these forgestar wheels? I wasnt thinking about that, and now I have an annoying flashing light on my cluster about it.

Curtis you have the 10 rib upgrade installed? do you have any pictures of it?

 

[phunk]

No I have not done a 10 rib upgrade, I wasnt even aware of one.

Hi Charles ,

There is a 10 rib kit available now. Well, still waiting on harmonic balancer. I have one in queue and will make a thread once I get it and install it.

Huh. I will take a look at it and see if looks of any value to me. I do not believe I am getting any belt slip, but I dont actually have a way to know for certain right now!

Oh right on, there is a Curtis... I figured you just butchered my name (Charles). :lol:
