Best wheel/tire combo

Alright guys so the title says it all pretty much. I am in need of new tires and am thinking about getting a new set of wheels as well. Has anyone ran XXR’s? I am thinking about getting a set of xxr 527D’s with the more offset but idk if I can get them to fit. So, if you have then what style and specs were they and what tire did u run! PLEASE POST PICS IF POSSIBLE!

 

RPF1 is the only choice. 16.9 lbs a corner.

17x9 +45 (but I run spacers to clear the coils)

 

I can attest. RPF1 fo' lyfe!

 

First off amazing ride man. Second off how much does a set run? What offsets do they come in and what tire size are you running?
[doublepost=1524488908][/doublepost] The wheels im running now are +38 I think but are only 7.5” wide.

 

Did someone say RPF1?


Then again, I don't know how they look on an MS6. Konig Hypergrams are another good option for a lightweight but sturdy, and not outrageously priced, wheel. @JohnnyTightlips snagged a set of Drag wheels from DiscountTire on the cheap; they weigh about a thousand pounds each but he likes them.

 

That’s what I was wondering too.. (how they would look) I like the 5 and 6 spoke deep dish type so idk

 

Yeah, wow, you need new wheels. That pic has 245s on it, in a few days I will be putting them back on with some 255s.

I picked up the wheels for $1100 (with tires) used. New, they arent the cheapest around, but they are some of the best. If you search your local craigs list they should have a few around. They are a very popular wheel, they come in quite a few sizes and offsets.

Drags FTW , rpf1's are for people with low self-esteem.

 

Say no to XXR.

 

17x9 +45 with 5mm spacers in the front.
tires are 225/45/17 for now.

 

Why no to xxr? Their weight?

 

I assume because of this:

Niicce..... yeah maybe so! They had to be abusing them to di that though wouldn’t you say?

 

No idea, Ive just heard people talk about the cheap casting of them. Im sure they are fine for most people, but Ive seen Michigan pot holes eff up steel wheels, so I cant imagine what it would do to poorly cast ones.

 

A guy I work with broke 2 stock speed 6 wheels on IA winter potholes. If the shit is bad enough it won't matter what wheels you have.

 

Haha Yeah our streets have been under going “contruction and maintenance” for a couple years now basically and they suck.... Anyways lol Do you think I could fit 18x9’s on my ms6 with a medium aggressive offset?

 

I'm on XXR 530 18x8.5 +35 for about 3 years now, they have been great I avoid the already limited amount of pot holes where i live though.

 

RPF1 Gold 17x9 +45 running 255/40/17 with 15mm spacers to clear the isc coilovers.

 

Thanks and your ride looks great with those wheels! I hope I can come up with the money for some soon. Do very many members live around Indiana for the buy and sell section?

 

One of my Nator brethren in South FL had 2 sets of CAR for autocross, nothing bad ever happened to them but he was always expecting something.

Another guy had his wheel crack at the spokes and ditched it before it got worse.

Another guy ran XXR wheels for a while on his daily, had some of the lip start to crack off on one wheel. Took it one day to get fresh tires on and another wheel had the whole outside rim of the wheel crack right off on the tire shop guys. The shop comped him for a new one but lesson learned, even if they appear to be hit or miss you get what you pay for.
