Carl Bishop Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Well I gave up on my hunt for a set of Hyper Silver CS56s, so I went with American Racing...... 18x9's with BFG g-force Comp 2 255/45's on all four corners.

ITHERTZ66 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes, they do. When I was researching similar wheels I thought I learned that those AR wheels didn't have the proper backspacing for our cars??? Do they stick out past the fenders? Can you clear Brenbo brakes? I see you are running a conservative 255 tire. Is that all you could fit without rubbing? Again, they look GREAT!!! Similar to the CS69 a bit..

Carl Bishop Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes, they do. When I was researching similar wheels I thought I learned that those AR wheels didn't have the proper backspacing for our cars??? Yes the do, they have 45mm, 35mm & 24mm (the stock wheels are 50mm) I went with the 45mm. They also come in 18x9 20x9 Chrome, Gray powder coated and Machine/Black. Do they stick out past the fenders? No, plus I installed an adjustable panhard bar last weekend, my rear end was off 3/8" towards the driver side, now its perfectly centered. Can you clear Brenbo brakes? I don't believe so, selecting the GT500 on their fitment guide was not listed. I see you are running a conservative 255 tire. Is that all you could fit without rubbing? My goal was to have a tire that was a little wider but close to the original size so not to throw the speedometer off too much, I believe some have run 275s on all four corners with a 9.5" wheel. That combo was a little too pricy for me. I also chose to go in this direction so I could at least rotate the tires front to back every 3k mile. I'll be installing camber bolts and getting it aligned next weekend. Again, they look GREAT!!! Similar to the CS69 a bit.. Thanks! And yes, very similar but much more expensive.....

Troy I'm running 275/40/18 on a 9.5 wheel at all four corners but that tire size will fit a 9in wheel. Your setup looks slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Bishop Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm running 275/40/18 on a 9.5 wheel at all four corners but that tire size will fit a 9in wheel. Your setup looks slick! Thank you.... At the time I was looking for the best bang for the buck, I spent around $1700 for everything (wheels, tires, panhard bar, camber bolts and alignment). Maybe I'll look at the 275 set up for the next set. It's going to be a looooooooooong time, I've logged less than 3k miles since installing them nearly 2 years ago. Those look awesome ... Great upgrade. Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
