Frosty's Legnum with 19's

[Frosty]

Had these at work, and decided to try them on. They are 19x8.5 +32.
Very tempting.
Opinions welcome.

They look sick but has to be a very stiff ride...

 

[Guest]

I quite like those ,are they going to catch the arches

 

[Hotwire]

Be tempted - looks hot as! BUY BUY BUY!

 

[pu-11-me]

Yep, winner

 

[godzilla]

They suit the car perfectly! But do they clear the guards ok? Its probably just me but they look like the tyre might rub on the guard if you went over a bump or something
But they seriously look sweet!

If you can make them work - DO IT!!

 

[Frosty]

Thanks for the comments.

We ordered these for an XR6T, but the sale fell threw.
Tyres are 245/40 19. If i get them I'll go for a 35 proflie.
Can't see any dramas with the fronts, but I will load the boys in the back and go for a spin to see how the rears go.
I have the same wheels on the car now in 18's and silver. So if the 19's don't work, I'll just get the 18's painted black.

Do it, they'll look 100 times better if you throw some 225/40s on them. 245 on an 8.5 is a bit excessive.

 

[Mel-D]

They are seriously sexy.

 

[Frosty]

I'll try a few sizes on and see how they go. Got a whole tyre shop at my disposal, so I'm sure I can find the best combo.
If need be, I'll go 235/40, or 35, but I'll leave the 225 stretch look for the drift crew.

 

[ygoslo]

225 wouldn't be stretched... see the below link for pics of a 215/40 on an 8.5. A 225/45 should have pretty straight sidewalls.

225's will look quite stretched. I'd go with 235's personally and stay with 35 profile.

Not a big fan of those particular wheels but the 19's look good. Will look better with some 245/35's or smaller.

 

[Tom]

They are the exact wheels and size that I was going to get at one stage hehe.. I even photoshopped them on to my car Then I went a different style! Now that I've got a black bonnet I want black wheels again hehehe..

My mate got them on his XR6 though, they look good man!

 

[Guest]
