Classic looking wheel...really looks great on your car, especially the color combo

k3silk · 07-25-2010, 11:18 AM

This car looks clean what are the wheels specs.

remmib · 07-25-2010, 01:39 PM

Very nice.

msp116 · 07-25-2010, 02:47 PM

Its a staggered set 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the back. Just put a set of H&R sport springs on she definately sits lower the ride is not bad at all, but as you can see the front still sits higher than the rear. For some reason the right rear is sitting lower than the left rear i get a very small rub on the right rear if i hit something too hard.....any ideas why this is like that?

The car definitely has a night and day difference with those springs on...

The rubbing issue you are having is most likely occurring on the fender liner. Liner trimming can be done using a dremel. What tire rear tire size are you running? Are you running the 10" +38 rear?

Looks great! Where in Pittsburgh do you live and where did you have your springs installed?

msp116 · 07-26-2010, 01:03 PM

Live in the south hills area did the install myself and a friend pretty staright forward took about 3-4 hr......

Cool, Did you just use a jack or did you have access to a real lift?

msp116 · 07-26-2010, 02:47 PM

Actually had access to both....having a lift makes it easier for sure, but this is something that can be done with jack stands and a floor jack. If you need a more detaled description just email me pizaman@hotmail.com i can talk ya through it.

ShowTime12 · 07-26-2010, 03:09 PM

Looks great. What tire sizes and offsets are you running?

msp116 · 07-26-2010, 04:20 PM

NITTO's front 225/35ZR19 88W Rear 265/30ZR19 93W

ibeclueless · 07-26-2010, 06:01 PM

looks nice

lonestar22 · 07-26-2010, 07:05 PM

what made you go with such a large stagger on a xi? this will only cause heavy understeer on an awd car. personally i would have went with 9.5's all around and staggered the offsets

msp116 · 07-27-2010, 08:49 AM

Actually the understeer is not a problem at all I can still track through cloverleafs at 80 to 90 mph with no problem.

cstavaru · 07-27-2010, 09:08 AM

I think understeer is more of a problem on RWD rather than FWD cars (but maybe I'm wrong). However, I think that 225/265 combo is not the best thing that can happen to your car's handling ability

modbargains · 07-27-2010, 01:53 PM

Love the Color of your car. Wheels are a great compliment!

where in pittsburgh are you i need local help in picking wheels and sizes thanks

Eugeinus · 02-22-2012, 11:45 AM

Nice setup - super clean, Are you running the H&R Springs with stock shocks, or aftermarket?

VMRWheels · 02-22-2012, 11:58 AM

WOO! Thread revival. Still looks good.

Donny Rino · 02-22-2012, 06:45 PM

I thought you couldn't run a different size tires front and rear on an X drive car.

Patrick303 · 02-22-2012, 08:19 PM

It's been covered many times over in this section and the all-wheel drive section. Staggered on the all wheel drive is fine. Sport package XI comes with staggered rims.
