I just picked up a set of Volks SF Challenges.

Specs:
19x9.5 225/35/19
19x10.5 245/40/19

I'm thinking about putting the 245/40/19 on the fronts and 285/35/19 on the rears. Because I dont like the scretched look. What do you think?

What and how do I swap the TPMS from my OEMs to the Volks?

When I take the stocks off and try to fit the Volks on, there was a little nut in between two studs that were interfering so I unscrewed it and took it out. What is that for and is it necessary?

Thanks

 

that bolt is useless, it's to help get off the rotors when they need to be replaced.... i think. to swap tpms... you have to dismount the tires from the stock rims and take them out... then dismount the tires on the volks and put them in.

post some pics!

He's correct...I forgot to do this, and as nice as the car is that damn light is on the dash. I have a COBB ap now, I wonder if I can turn the light off?

 

Damn that's gonna cost some money and the chances of getting my rims scuffed... pic up top ^!

 

bro you gotta mount tires to them anyways... they will do it at the same time...dunno what the big deal is

 

??? theres already tires on the Volks. and stocks.

 

see the red above. when that happens... swap... simple

 

For some reason those look like they won't clear the caliper, at least on that pic.

What are the offsets? Spacers?

 

idk the offsets, neither does the guy I bought them from, no spacers. it barely cleared the calipers

 

Wow, yea, that's one crazy optical illusion if those actually clear the calipers... They look like they're not even close to clearing if you roll forward or backward!

 

You need at least a few mm clearance from the calipers to be safe. 245 on a 10.5" wheel is way too narrow a tire. I feel like my 275 on 10.5" are stretched too much. I'm not certain about the fronts, but that tire sounds too skinny too.

 

I don't know about the SF Challenges but from my uderstanding, some Volk wheels require an adapter for the TPMS. This is what Ryan and Sharif from Forged told me when I inquired about the GTS a while back. You might want to PM them about this.

 

Times 2

I think you may need spacers in the front small ones to clear the caliber. 2 maybe 3 mills.

 

ok, I have to order some lug nuts and I can drop it to see how it will clear then.

 

Do I have to use my stock TPMS or I can buy another set? if so, can it be off a G35 or a 350z?
