I put 20s on my 96 mustang and made the mistake of trying to run larger than 30% sidewall Rubbed on every bumper and screwed up my handling by raising my center of mass and gave me enough body roll to drag my then custom side exit exhaust
A quick question: do you ship to EU?
none, because i've been watching your videos instead of fucking up
To be honest, I did a lot of research on wheels and tires before making my purchase. I looked at the weights of both the tire and the wheel to get the lightest combination with the best performance I could afford. My current car is the only one I've bought aftermarket wheels to put on it. On prior cars where I changed out the wheels, I used factory wheels only. One other thing I started doing when buying a new set of tires was dropping down to the next tread width/tread aspect ratio from those of the stock tires. For example, I just bought a set of YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND GT SL in 205/60 x 15 for my Elantra which takes a stock size of 195/65 x 15. My aftermarket wheels (Primax 533) are 6.5" wide and the 205/60's are made to go on wheels ranging from 5.5" to 7.5" wide so my wheel width is right between these two values. There are two other advantages to dropping down to the next size combination: one, acceleration on the low end will be quicker and the speedometer will be reading higher than your actual speed (meaning that you're less likely to get ticketed if you go faster on the highway than the posted speed limit). Handling will also be improved plus they'll look better.
What do you recommend for a Toyota Camry v6 xle black, or red , or silver color car?
Thanks for recommending me this right after I bought some

My dad and I were talking about tires earlier, weird timing on this video lol I never used to be into cars until I recently bought my latest car. Now I’m diving in and learning everything I can, and my dad is happy cause I never used to be into cars. Thanks for helping me in my journey!

By far one of the easiest to understand videos on wheel and tire fitment. Well done!
I’ll need to watch this video at least ten times to fully get it!
You'll never get.. there should be a college course on this
Dude finally someone who's thinking the same thing.
trial and error bro. once you fail and it cost you money. you will get the hang of it.
Lol
Three important things to note with offset that both caught me out: 1. If you're putting in thicker brake calipers, measure to make sure they don't collide with the spokes - if they do, you'll need a spacer which in turn will require you to adjust your offset by that amount to keep the wheels in the desired lateral position 2. Check whether the wheels valve stems sit in front of or behind the spokes - on my wheels they sat behind the spokes and collided with the bigger brake caliper before I put the spacer in 3. Check your stock offsets, they might be different on each axel - on mine the rears were +16 whilst the fronts were 0 - it's less than ideal but this mistake kind of worked in my favour after discovering 2 - I put a 16mm spacer on the fronts for the bigger brakes (which I didn't have for the rears) which means that both fronts and rears stick out 16mm more than they should. If I'd had the correct offset on the rears, the fronts would have stuck out more than the rears - because I didn't, the wheels are at least in line, albeit 16mm out from where they should be.
Love this guy, current,y looking at wheels and he has answered two of my questions straight of the bat.
1:06 was that the minecraft pressure plate noise?
And the chest at 0:42
The bone braking sound?
Or the grass walking sound..?
One of the cleanest FRS's I've ever seen Gels! I love the hints of aero and how it stays true to what it was meant to be. Great job dude.
I really like the one on the top far left. It does seem like there is almost an endless amount of rims and i made the mistake purchasing a chrome set years ago that (unknown to me) was considered a "show rim" and once driven at normal highway speed it would flex like crazy made for a horrible experience going on a road trip and after 10 hours would blow up tires. I really want a new set just have to make sure i check and do my research this time
Thanks so much! Looking at getting my first set of aftermarkets so perfect timing!
I have a truck that I'm building into a widebody racetruck and I'm gonna have 19x9 -42 in the front with some 255/35 19s and in the rear I'm gonna have 19x11 -67 with 295/35 19s. It's gonna be a monster and it's gonna look sick as hell!
The part I have a hard time with is trying to make sure that the overall diameter of the wheel and tire are the same. I want to keep the stock overall diameter that way my speedometer reads correctly
The best explanation without and hidden fees, thanks Dude, I got mines 18x9 enkie with 245/40/18 kumho semi slick tires
Just bought 16x8 wheels for my 03 Tacoma since the stock size (16x7) was near impossible to find in terms of price point and oem weight comparability. Did 0 offset since I didn't want rock chips in paint from negative offset and no point in positive offset on an offroader. Still will be rocking stock tire size but have yet to put the wheels and tires on. A little nervous not gonna lie. Hoping the extra inch doesn't end up screwing me over, not much I could find on forums about people having done the same, some folks said they were fine, some folks said there was some rubbing on mud guards, guess I'll find out soon enough.
ohhh okay this helps, thanks! i have decided that i will just stick with my stock wheels
You forgot the most overlooked factor. The center bore diameter needs to match or be a bit bigger so you can get hub centric rings at least. If you buy wheels that the bore is too small that means you have to go to a machine shop to enlarge it which cost another 200-400 dollars. Also tire height chart is best website for tires. Look up your oem size then look up upgrade rim diameter and it will give you all tire sizes that come close to your oem height. Good for staggered setups or if you have all wheel drive cars.
This is almost never the case. Because when a wheel designer is doing the final calliper clearance test, the centre bore always clears before the actual calliper. This means is as you said the center bore becomes an issue, then the brake will most certainly be an issue too. (Actual Wheel designer here)
I bought some Variis wheels for my G35 been loving them so far. Haven't heard much about them though
Glad that they suggested coilovers before new wheels.
I appreciate how down to earth this channel is.
Love watching you guys greetings from Poland
I finally ordered a set of Enkei TS-5 18x9.5 +38 and your prices were cheaper by $200 for a set than anywhere else! The service rep helping me even reached out to Enkei themselves to verify fitment for my 2017 STI
You guys rock, thanks for all the great content.
I got a set of forged on one car and a flow formed on another. The forged may be stronger but dont be fooled the flow formed are just as light in weight. It also depends if they are from a quality brand, which will be more expensive. In conclusion high end flow formed wheels like advan racing are super light.
Damn how am I just now discovering this channel... I've watched the latest video ( this one at the time of this comment) and like 6 older videos.. you guys have killer content, keep the good content coming... You have a new subscriber and notificatiom bell squad member!!

I'm getting a set of Motegi MR116 for my Tiburon GT. Thanks for the guidance!
I picked up that bronze rohanna 22s for my Jeep seating on top left of screen. I love them and they break necks
Was looking at wheels a month ago for my charger, picked up some other oem charger wheels for extremely cheap so now I've decided that I'm going to just save up some money and get another set that's a bit more flashy. Maybe eventually I get the Niche Methos M195? Maybe I get something else.
Dama_NoSahh where did you buy your set bro?
In 5 minutes I found out the setup that I liked thanks to your gallery

I would love to see a "So you want a Lotus Elise". Or an Exige....Lotus doesn't seem to get enough love :(
Wicked man , wicked. I was at a customer's house about a year ago and saw an evora JPS. The dude said it's rare as frigg, so I googled him on it when I left. The guy wasn't lying
That's cause no one can afford them.
@@MrTheHillfolk yep only 5 in the US I believe
Xavier King a quick search on Autotempest showed 38 results for Elise and 5 results for Exige.
The Stiggy Stardust a used Elise is a very affordable car. About the price of a new Toyota Camry or RAV4. The Exige is a bit more expensive, about the price of a fully loaded Tesla Model 3 Performance.
I'm going old school jdm on my ralliart colt. It will be a first here in the UK 👍🏾💯

I'm here after buying my wheels and tires
Just bought my rims from y’all enki rpf1 can’t wait to get them!!!
I just bought a 1993 Pontiac Sunbird 3.1l v6. I was wondering what wheel and tire setups are out there or that y'all would recommend
What's your view on offset and it's relation to brake clearance? I believe they have very little do with each other and other factors like face, hub and barrel are the real determining factors.
It really depends on the wheel. Some wheels can clear large brakes despite being small. You can run a wheel such as a 19" Forgeline GA1-R on a car with six piston calipers and 398 mm discs. On the flipside, there are other wheels that are 20" which are so poorly manufactured that they won't clear the same setup. Always measure the radius from your hut to the outside of the caliper and add 4mm. That will tell you what you have tow work with in terms of inner barrel diameter. Then measure the offset from the hub flange of the brake disc to the face of the caliper. That will tell you how much room you need to clear the spokes. Those two numbers are what you need in order to know whether or not a wheel will clear your brakes. If a wheel vendor or a wheel manufacture cannot tell you what their inner barrel diameter is or how much room there is between the wheel flange and inner wheel face, then shop some place else, because they are not worth your time.
It has everything to do with clearance wtf You get a larger negative offset in order to fit in a BBK and also to get your rims flush without having to use shtty spacers! I’m confused with what exactly you mean mate? Not trying to have a go at you, we all learn from somewhere so if I can help in any way please let me know and I’ll do the best I can! Happy driving brother!
offset and backspacing is where i struggle a bit. it's not the measuring part, it's the imagining how the wheel will look and foreseeing any clearance issues.
That was a good clip & very educational. Thanks very much
A lot of good info.
Hey! the FRS on 6:30 with the Front 245/30 REAR 305/35 is my buddy @scion_pollo ...
Sticking with my stocks, I’m too broke anyway
Same haha, plus mine shine on the ground even when it's dark so it looks pretty cool 😂
Elias Lado you could plasti dip them
Took me 6 months to get tires on some cosmis XTs took me another 6 months to get the wheels😭😭
Most stock wheels are of higher quality than aftermarket cast wheels anyway. Since I couldn't get nice wheels at the time, I ended up polishing the faces of my stock 2011 Si wheels to a mirror finish. Made the car look incredible and only took about 3 hours of labor per wheel, sand paper and buffing compound. Just today I ordered a set of Kansei wheels for it so I'm stoked
FG Poor I felt this 🙁
Got a 1972 buick riviera. Wanted to get some 20 inch's rims on it. Any suggestions on offset and width? Thanks!
I was looking to upgrade my stock steel wheels to a newer and lighter wheels from 16s to 18s but my truck is a 6 lug pattern so it was not easy...

Now im happy. Saludos desde Ensenada Mexico 🍀🎶👍
Chances of you getting lighter alloys when going from 16" steels to 18" alloys is pretty much zero unless you spend north of 10k on forged wheels. Alloy wheels are more often than not, heavier than steelies.
Ayyye eclipse gang 🤟
With everyone going on right now I don't think it's a good idea to 1. Buy wheels or tires on a payment plan or 2. Promote doing it. Just my thoughts, love the channel and love the crew. Keep up the great content to get us through our quarantine
Great info! Question-What is the best type of tire changer for these expensive wheels?
Anything touchless that is set up properly.

Thanks for the info bro. I did the same thing when I bought my first set of wheels and tires from a guy. nice rims but big ole fat tires.
I know nothing, but I’m customizing my 1997 GMC 1500 high top Savana. Want an off road vibe with all terrain tires. Getting the suspension upgraded then want to swap out the 15” rims and tires for a larger tire , taller. Will need to seek advice so the performance works. Looks easy to do it wrong.

Luckily you didn't I'm still waiting for my wheels and tires was told that one rim was sent straight to me but why would they do that when there suppos to mount and balance and install the tpms sensors. They told me they would send me the tires and I can have a shop install it and they would cover $20 if I send them the recipe

I have a g35 coupe with avid1 av06's that have +20 something offset and my fitment i horrendous. Should I get spacers? if so what size im on stock suspension.
I see some cars with stock size wheels which leaves are regular gap between the wheel well and the tire and I see some where the tire fits right into the wheel well (fender). Does this mean that they got one size higher than the stock size? Also, does it rub in the wheel well when they go over bumps or when they carry heavy cargo in the trunk? Thanks
