19" Sevas wheels

Hi fellas,
found a pretty good deal on these wheels for $1600. They are 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 with 245 & 275 Toyo T1s tires. Does anyone have any comments, advice or criticism on these? thanks in advance.

Kyle

If you are doing a show car then get them, performance wise those will do you no good..IMO...

Looks good though just too big, if they were 18's that would be better...

Performance wise, I agree it's not the best, but just want to have a little fun with the car. Just can't beat the price for rims & tires. By the way, the offset is +35 front & +40 rears. Any fitment problems? Perhaps the fronts will be close with the stock brake calipers. Any advice? Thanks.

The fronts will not fit without fender surgery. You will need coilovers with stiff spring rates to avoid whacking the fender liners, as only a few 19" sizes maintain a reasonable tire diameter. What are the actual tire sizes. The only sizes that will work at all are 245/35 and 275/30, and even those are 0.75 to 1" taller than stock.

It's not a deal just because the price is low.

I would weigh them.... if they are pigs... pass. 19's are for bling. 18's as stated are about the biggest still keeping performance in mind.

For the street I have 18x9 up front and 18x10 out back. I believe they are +38 and +40. I have coilovers and have no fitment problems. 255/35/18's and 275/35/18's
