Im looking to possibly move to a more aggressive wheel set up... I know zhp wheels are 8 wide in the front and 8.5 in the rear. I would like to do 8.5's in the front and 9.5's in the rear. Will this be to wide or is this doable? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how low your car is.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

my car is stock height as of now but lowering springs or possibly coils would come along with a new wheel setup.

...and offsets and tires and camber. There's plenty of variables involved.Originally Posted by az3579
Here's my previous setup with 9.5" rears and 8.5" fronts.

Damn that looks good. How is that different from your current setup?

I sold that setup a couple months ago. Currently running OEM ZHP wheels with Blizzaks for the snow (though it hasn't seen any snow yet). Undecided for next year. Sadly, it may come down to a budget thing. While I'd love to splurge and get some baller wheels, I might not be able to with the way the economy is (still) going.

When I was buying my car I was already planning on getting a set of gunmetal V710's. But after having it and looking at the 135M's everyday, I don't think I would be happy going with anything else. Still thinking of powdercoating them a little darker, but I flip flop on that daily. I really like the stock wheels on this car. I don't believe I have ever felt that way about any other car I have ever owned.

I just wish they were lighter.

Thats funny you say that Lance... I've though many time of powder coating my wheels a darker gray. I think it would look very good!
