Square 19 inch wheel set ups(help&pics needed)

Hello Guys,

I had my heart set on the 19 x 9 Anniversary 30 mm offset wheels with near perfect fit, however they are now discontinued.

I really like how AUR11's set up came together with the Swift drop and these wheels. Very clean and adds some sport aggressiveness.

My problem now is that I'm locked into tire sizes 245/40/19 as I have an AWD and I don't think many run staggered in new england winter.

9.5 inch rim provides a bit more stretch to the 245/40/19 tire than a 9 inch would and 8.5 seems a bit thin for the tire. I am trying to find something that will be flush and look great. I haven't seen any close up either which certainly doesn't help.

I am looking for both picture examples and advice on what will work. I am having swifts and spacers installed in the meantime..

Post em up.. Bonus points for Graphite Shadow Sedans with above specs and Hyper black/Hyper silver rims.

P.s. Wheels should be able to fit the Akebono's for future.

Forgestar is probably your best bet for the 9" width and you can choose your offset, of course that assumes it's in your budget and you like the styling.
Just one example
Forgestar Wheels Custom Rotary Forged Flow Formed Concave Performance Wheels - Forgestar CF10
You might also ask Eric at Getyourwheels what's available in a 19x9.

i have had 3 square set ups:
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +35
19x9.5 +25

I ran 245/40/19 on all three of these set ups no problems at all i dont even really consider it to have a stretch on 19x9.5 since that is the recommended max width.

also do you own a sedan or a coupe? i m guessing with those offsets you mentioned its a sedan but i have pix of all those set ups just let me know!

It is an X Sedan. While I like a bit of stretch, my drop is not aggressive to cover up for it, nor would I run something like that on DD.

So, I want to fit the tire correctly as possible to the rim for the aesthetic just as much as anything else..

Thanks, Newt.. I like, but my wallet was hoping for a more economical option..

We'll see, just ended months of unemployment with a new job. Priorities..

Thanks for the pics man..

I might reconsider a 19 x 8.5 rim with the 245/40 tire. I like how the nismo pics look above.

What 8.5 rim would have Concave mesh? Possible with approx 30mm offset?

I'm going to set up a square setup thread, that post from Chinky Choy will head the list, very helpful indeed.

I would look into Avant Garde wheels, they have a great set of 19x9.5 all around that you could run the 245/40 on. I was originally going to go this route, but couldn't pass up the price on the Anniversary wheels. Thanks for the props on my car!

I believe that would result in some stretch
