Wheel and Tire Setup for V6

[Mov]

Hey guys I'm new to the forums and I had a quick question about the wheel and tires setup I should shoot for. I plan on turning the car into a drift/track car. I was told that anything after 10" wide will not fit on the s550 v6s? So I was thinking of doing 19x9.5 all around was curious on everyone's opinion

P.S. I'm still a noob when it comes to offset and such...

Thanks in advance.

Check out the wheel and tire section here:

How wide you can go will depend on the wheel's offset. I believe Fordguys550 has 18x10s on his V6.

Also, I have the GT Performance Pack wheels on mine that I picked up in the classifieds on this forum. That's a good place to start looking for a cheap set of wheels and tires.

I was reading on that forum and I read a post saying people prefer the 20" because the 19s and 18s leave a wheel big wheel gap

19x9.5 is fine, I'm using 255/40 ZR 19 on 19"x8.5" AP Wheels. I decided on that with a square set up. That way I can rotate the tires every six months.

IMO the 18x10 SVE Drift are a great low cost track wheel. A 285/40/18 tire on that would work really well.

im running 18x10 et 25 with 285 35s. never rubbed. a little gap, but I should have gone with sportlines. running prokits

I'm planning on a coilover kit as well to pair with these rim sizes. What does et mean?

my 6'er

btw, the wheels all fit the same on GT, EB and V6, regardless of suspension packages

ET is the offset

I was really interested in getting volks te37 or maybe reps of those

 

[fordguys550]

I was gunna do 37 reps, but decided to go this route cause I had grids on my last car....I love them, but wanted to try something different. and I couldn't find the right width/et

Here is the reps I have found but they only come in 18x10.5

Still a little unsure about what Offset/PCD/Center Bore all mean lol

BUMP


I found some more options here are some links let me know what everyone thinks. I am trying to get much concave I can so I don't have a "flush" look if you know what I mean

Still need to find good looking tires, I was considering going with the nitto G2's that just came out.

We've got a lot of really good 19" options for track that are specifically made for this platform and are flow formed or fully forged and will be much better than 37 knockoffs. Search Project 6GR for one example or MRR350s for another.
