19" Enkei Raijin

gtTuna · 03-16-2022, 02:25 PM

I have a leftover set of 19x8.5 Enkei Raijin 5x120 wheels that I want to try to use as an off-season setup in place of the 666M wheels I have on right now.

The widest tire I can put on them would be 255/35R19s. Would that work as a square setup / at all? Should I put 245/35R19s up front ?

I have a winter setup with 255/35-19 square tires. My wheels are 8.5 et 35 in front and 9.5 et 40 in the rear. No issues whatsoever. GL

These are ET38 -- do you have any pics of that setup?

Let me see if there are any other pics I can dig up. If not I'll take some phone pics if that works. I'm lowered now though.

Here are a few more. Sorry I'm not the best at taking pics

No, those are great! I appreciate it!

Should be a good winter setup, then -- looks nice. I have H&R springs on mine right now, but thinking about putting stocks back on.

Your car looks great

. I took a couple of pictures after work today. You can see how much the wheels tuck in, but also keep in mind I have -2.5 degrees camber upfront and -2 degrees camber in the rear. I figured it would be ok to be tucked in for the winter, so all the dirt and debris from the road don't end up on the side of the car.

Yeah, doesn't look bad at all -- gonna roll with that for my winter / off-season setup in that case. Worst case could get some spacers I suppose.
