Looking for your advice and opinions

timothy2001 · 02-01-2015, 07:46 AM

So many experts and opinions on here it's crazy not to ask.

BSM with gloss black grille, smoke side markers and I am so undecided about which wheels and then there's the run flats.

Currently I have the stock style 287 star spoke, is there anything other than black to consider?

Real question is which brand. There is a fantastic Group Buy going on for the Apex so the price is roughly the same. I am considering Apex and Alzor and I will likely replace the run flats.

Then there is the size, I would like to push both front and rear out a bit and maybe have the rears a bit larger but I don't want to have to cut or modify the car at all short of any spacers.

Opinions, $.02, advice is welcomed and hell light up the flames I'll appreciate it all. Here are the two I am considering:

Your 287s are going to be 18x8 ET34 18x8.5 ET39.

For the 18 inch staggered (18x8/18x9 ET35) Alzor 030 fitment is going to have pretty much the same fitment. For the 19 inch staggered (19x8.5 ET35 19x9.5 ET40) will be about 5mm more aggressive front and rear than your stock wheels.

If you wanted to get these wheel flush, I'd suggest running spacers. On the staggered 18s 12.5mm spacer up front and a 15mm spacer out back gives you a nice flush but safe fitment as long as you don't go overly fat with your tire specs. On the 19s a 5mm spacer up front and a 10mm spacer out back will get you a very nice aggressive flush fitment (once again rub free as long as you don't go with overly fat tire specs)

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you need any assistance or I can answer any questions for you.
