September 20, 200521 yr #11 Author Thanks Ben,what brand of tyres did you order, when I bought my wheels they had Nankang's on them, they gripped pretty well, but were quite noisy. I traded them on Kumho's which are about $100 per tyre dearer, but are heaps quieter and so far (3000km) have excellent grip. Those 5 spokes will look great in 19's, are you going to lower it? Cheers,Steve.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey mate, The brand they offer for that price was Wanli tyres apparently similar in quality to the Nankangs. I wanted to go for a better (known) tyre but my salary package only allows for cheaper tyres in the vicinanty of $300 (incl GST) a corner and wheel package was fairly tight. I will increase my allowance for tyres next year and figured id give them a go.I will lower the car eventually, I figured I get the rims first and see how they sit before lowering it down.
September 21, 200521 yr #12 my bro got a set of fr19's for his ba.. front are 8.5's and fit no worries, but the back are 9.5's and if lowering it, you need to roll the guards. this is a sedan btw.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've got the Fusions in 19 x 8.5 and 9.5 with lowered car and no scraping and no rolled guards.
September 22, 200521 yr #13 Author Got the rims on today they look sweet. Took off dust covers do all you see is the new slotted rotors I get fitted yesterday.Also got 12 months interest free (instead of 6 months due to current promotion) with Bob Jane T-Mart and the tyres got mixed up ended up with a better tyre Nankang's for the same price.Could get much better I reakon.Will post up pics soon!Cheers.
