School me
Hey guys,
this is my first time buying rims and i just want to make sure i get what i actually want. After a few weeks of searching and saving my pennies i have decided to go with the 5Zigen 5Zr Copse (Thanks Mahjik).
Now what i want (the look) is nice wide/aggressive tires in the rear and more moderate up front. Below is what i am going to order. I plan to wrap the front with 245's and the read with 275's... would this work? Currently my FD is lowered about 1.5 inches (tien-s Springs). What tire size do you recommend? I would like thin wall tires. Im just not sure of the size's to get .... I know this has prob been answered, but like i said, this is new to me and i am unsure what to search for. So please help me out and not bash the **** out of me. Thanks a ton guys, this is a big investment for me and i just want to make sure i spend my money wisely. BTW, i used the sticky to determine the offset to get. is 32mm correct for the front and rears?

- Accessories None

- Color Silver Polished Lip
- Offset 32---- THIS RIGHT?

5Zigen 5Zr Copse REAR 275's/xx?
- Accessories None
- Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
- Color Silver Polished Lip
- Offset 32---- THIS RIGHT?

No, your offsets are way too low. As a practical minimum, you would want +38 offset for front/rear fitments. Better would be as close to +50 as you can get.
I would run 235/40 and 265/35 for those wheel sizes.
