Timothy.B Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Well, first-hand experience tells me hyper silver looks pretty slick on black as well. Yeah, you're right. I thought they had more of a chrome like finish. Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasyxiv Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 *ding ding ding* Zee is correct. Now, I know what you guys are probably gonna say but...should I find some cheap Enkeis or go and get something like TSW's? I'm not gonna spend more than $250-300 a wheel though because I'll be getting some new rubber at the time. I know I'll save in the long run by being able to switch out sets in the driveway vs having them mount and balanced twice a year. I would've loved to get that spoke design here in Australia, TSW Nurburgring, BBS are like $500Aud each over here. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) **LONG POST/PIC HEAVY** Hey guys, looking to get some advice/direction with wheels/tires (I apologize if this is the wrong spot for it). This will be the first car I've swapped wheels on, and a lot of it is alien to me at this point, but I've done some research I think I have a pretty decent handle on what I need, just want to make sure I'm on the right track. I have a 2012 3.6R with these wheels. http://i.imgur.com/ofyySks.jpg Wheel-size.com tells me that the stock wheels/tires for a '12 3.6 is 215/50R17 on 17x7's with a 55 offset. Mine is on 225/50R17's for some reason, so I'm guessing the previous owner had them switched at some point. Here's a picture of my current poke (or lack of) as well. http://i.imgur.com/gRP4Y5K.jpg I've been using Wheelmax.com to browse and sample (great previewer on this site btw) to get an idea of what I like and how my car would look with them. I want to stick with 18's since this is my daily driver and I prefer functionality. I've settled on two wheels so far for both looks and pricepoint: Motegi Racing MR116's in Gloss Black w/ Machined Lip, and Enkei Sesto's in Gunmetal (though I'm leaning towards the Sesto's). Motegi MR116 http://i.imgur.com/bkKv8KZ.png Enkei Sesto http://i.imgur.com/8Q0d506.png The site says that the MR116's are 18x8 with a 45 offset, while the Sesto's are 18x7.5 with a 45 offset. Using Willtheyfit.com to get the following measurements and I think I've figured out that 245/40/18's are a good fit tire to use for these without rubbing or needing to adjust the speedo (if not just slightly). http://i.imgur.com/wUY6ucf.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/0PYUeyg.png Did I do this correctly and will these fit? Should I maybe go down to 235's? Down to 35 profile? Or maybe up to 255's? Or 45 profile? Additionally, if I plan on dropping my car at all in the future (probably no further than 1"), will both of these tires/wheel sets fit still or will I need to reconsider size? Any and all help and advice is greatly appreciated. I've never done anything like this before and I want to make sure I do it right.

fredrik94087 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) 3.6r is 225. 215 is for 2.5i. you can run 18x8.5 +45 with a 245 tire and no issues. if you go with 245, get an 8.5" wheel.

Zee199969 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If you want your tires squared off on an 18x8 go with 235s, on an 18x7.5 go with 225s. 255s will look super donut-y My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 ...and don't worry about speedo error with a slightly larger tire, a 245/45R18 will line up your actual ground speed nearly perfectly with what the speedo says, as opposed to the ~3% high the speedo reads on stock-sized tires.
