19's

[Airpoppoff]

Hey guys i was wondering if Motegi Makes the mr7's in 19" ive been looking everwhere for them and i know Motegi makes other 19's but i just cant seem to find them, I would really like to ge them in Gunmetal.

And if anyone else out there has 19's what kind of offset you runnin?, i have the eibach pro-kit springs and i know you can run 19's with that..

I also have a box of sportlines and im gonna put those on next summer with my 17's and see how it is.... im wondering also if i can run my sportlines with the 19's

oh and one other thing, i would like to keep my 235's....

any help would be appreiciated

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

You should be able to run 19's with the sportlines.

Depending on how wide the 19's are you may have to go wider than a 235.

I don't think they make the Mr-7 in 19.

I don't understand the hype on this wheel. Get a Konig Tantrum, they make it in 19 and powdercoat it gunmetal.

well i'm runnin 235/35/19 z rated tires on my konig verdicts and i have my car about 2 inches off the floor with ractive coilovers just about all the way down. so you just't have any problems with the eibach sportline springs. i would personally recommend coilovers but that's just me. they will look great and since your car is black i would recommend the konig verdicts in hyper black or gunmetal it would look sick. good luck but they will fit i know cuz i'm runnin them.

I have 19x7.5's with a 3 3/4" drop ground controll coil overs. I forget what the wheels offset is. If you plan on runnin 19's and a big drop I would recomend going with 225's. The 235's will be more likley to rub with a big drop.

Motegi Racing does not make a 19" rim in the MR7's, but I might be able to get a special order in 19's. I supply graphics for www.MotegiRacing.com and got my 18"s on discount.

The hype of the Motegi MR7's....Konig Tantrums are what...$459.99? Thats what I priced them at per wheel not that long ago, and the motegi's are what....$110 per wheel. I don't get what the "hype" is either . If you must know, there is NO DIFFERENCE between the two wheels except the Tantrums can be found in 19".

I thought that the 235's might rub.

 

[marcop3312]

mine don't

 

[Airpoppoff]

got any pics of your car dude????

 

[marcop3312]

you can see the site that my girl made it's My Car

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Marcop, I am still designing my car and I like your ride height, what size wheels, and what suspension mods have you done to get your car to sit like that? A few of my frinds are helping me design my car so I can get the perfect apearance from it, and I think your car has that look with the height that is just perfect. You say those wheels are 19's, but they look like 18's....

Thats what he said, he said that the 235's will most likely rub, and that you would probably want to go with 225's

Ohh, allright

 

[Airpoppoff]

So i am thinking i will run my sportlines with 19's that have 235's tires on them and you guys say that will run fine, am i correct?

 

[marcop3312]

my suspension is kyb gr2's all around with ractive coilovers they are 19" konig verdicts. 235's will not rub i don't know how many times i have to say it on here that i have them on my car with my car 2" from the ground and i don't have any rubbing problems and it is a daily driver in the summer time. please let's not hear anything else about it.

 

[Airpoppoff]

Heres the link. Its DCsGST's car about half way down. Hope that gives u some idea of what the 19s look like with a drop.

the 235s should not rub because the rolling diameter of the 235/35/19 is exactly the same rolling diameter as the stock 215/50/17. The width is only 20 mm. wider than stock. I am running a 235/45/17 on my GSX and I have no rubbing problems. If you need to figure out the size comparrison of tires here is the formula for rolling diameter:

Tread width(first number) X Aspect ratio(.35 in your case) X 2 X .0396 + Rim size

Example: 235 X .35 X 2 X .0396 + 19 = 25.5142
215 X .50 X 2 X .0396 + 17 = 25.514

 

[Airpoppoff]

dude thats sweet, thanks, right on

Make sure they are 40+offset at the minimum. I've seen some people try 35+ on Eclipses and get owned with rubbing. I currently have 225/35/19 on a 19x8 wheel and a considerable drop with no rubbing at all. 40+ offset with a 7.5" wheel should be just fine.
