Baby's got new shoes
 
It was time for new tires, due to negative camber chewing up the edges.
My G had 20" Volk GT30's, thanks to the original owner. I loved the wheels, but
I'm not a fan of the skinny tire look, and I was tired of worrying about destroying
the Volks on curbs and potholes.

So, I decided to go back to a 19" wheel and settled on Concept One RS8's.
8.5" +35 offset in front and 10.5" +45 offset in back. The fronts required a 7mm spacer to clear the big brakes.
Tires are Falken FK452's.
245-40-19
285-35-19
**new SPC upper A arms in front, and new toe bolts in the rear to fix the camber issues. Already had adjustable camber arms in rear.

BTW.... I sold the Volks locally and it more than paid for the tires and rims! I love Craigslist! :JAMIN:

Didn't have any to put back on. And although I like the stock rims, I like these better.

you shouldve kept the gt30 and just changed tires... but nice rims!

JJsBusaRox Apr 25, 2011 07:43 PM

woulda kept the volks for sure.

I really love gt30s but i understand what you mean by too little tire. I like the stance with this setup! Def looks good/functional.

Ah well it's all about what you like, but I wouldn't do it.
There is a reason why the Volks covered the cost of those easily lol.

Kidcane Apr 26, 2011 08:46 AM

Yeah definitely a downgrade but as long as you are happy.

Glad you like em, but I personally prefer the look of the stock wheels compared to these. But it's aways nice to see something different.
