Author Topic: Just ordered new wheels!!!!! (Read 6452 times)

Well I just ordered my new wheels from Tunershop!
Keskin Kt1's 16x9 in the rear and 16x7.5 in the front.

Cant freakin wait to mount tires on them and get them on the car so I can get some good pictures!

Now I need to order new All season tires. I kind of want to stretch the tires a little bit, but nothing extreme.

Any recommendations?

Those are hot.

I've heard Fusion ZRi tires stretch really well.

i'm running bfgoodrich sports on 16x9 borbet type A's

Thanks Danny!
I'm hoping my car rocks them well.

Wait so your running a 215 on a 9" wheel Kowalski???
Have any pictures? That seems like quite a stretch though?

Remember I'm looking for an all season. Will 205/40(45) stretch to a 7.5" width wheel? Or will it not even look like a stretch?

Can I run 205/40's all the way around on my setup? Or is that tooo much of a stretch for the rear 9's?

I'm looking at the yokohoma avid's for the winter.

It'll be a good stretch. Kinda like scateboard wheels...... Or Japanese BOZO cars. They have an insane amount of stretch. I have 195 running in the front of my stock bottle caps. IMO it looks good. In the rear they are 205.

I don't think it looks overstretched at all.

205s on the 7.5 I would say.

MAYBE 215 or 225 on the 9s

Wait. Is that 215 on 9's?

oh, and because i've been hassled by this before, the picture was taken before rims were perma mounted, which is why the fronts are on backwards.

Thanks for the input on the tires guys.

Got the call from my friends that my wheels arrived today!!!!
So I'll be ordering tires soon and hopefully updating the forum with some
pictures of them installed!

Same here! Modbargains told me that my wheels will be shipped to me on Wednesday!! Woo Hoo. Although, I did order them on July 3rd......(insert shifty here)

I have ordered several Keskin sets (KT2) (for Porsches) directly from Keskin factory in Germany.
Quality is good, the only problem (at least with 18") is weight. Keskin wheels are very heavy.
