Vertini Hennessey on the way

Hey guys,
after weeks of searching and debating I finially ordered hennessey rims from Autosport European. Cause I want to keep the same tires, they going to be 19" and 8.5 all around. They were very professional about this and they knew what they were talking about. I told them why not 9.5 for the back? They said it going to stretched your tires. My current tire size are 225/45R19 for the front and 245/40R19 for the back. However, they told me that 10mm spacers are needed for the front to clear the brakes. I hope everything will goes alright.. If you have any comment please let me know cause I think they have not shipped it out yet, probably Monday, and I will get them by end of next week.

If everything goes alright, I will post pictures.

Not to be negative but whats professional about not giving you the sizes you want, then saying you need to run a 10mm spacer to clear the brakes. That would involve swapping the studs because you cant use a 10mm bolt on. 245 on a 9.5 isnt much of stretch at all, a 255 would be a correct size for a 9.5

+1...... I personally don't think you should chose your rim size JUST to fit your old tires to save money. If anything, save up a bit longer and sell the tires to get the size rims and tires you want

I emailed them back about updating my order, hopefully they will do it if they have not shipped it out yet... if it shipped out, then I'm screwed right

A lot of the beauty in aftermarket wheels is the added width, tires will be worn out in a year or so anyways so why restrict your wheels to them?
