swift spec r and get rid of your 19s would help for a smooth dd

 

COBB springs are often overlooked, I've been very happy with the ride quality of the COBBs paired with the MR Bilsteins

 

I too recommend the Cobb springs, I put them on my car a week ago and so far I've been very happy. Good drop and solid ride quality. There was even a site I found awhile back seeking them for like 250. Can't remember where since I got mine off a guy here who sold his car before he ever put them on.

 

I have Swift Spec-R and they've been fine for DD. I believe GTWORX are very similar too.

 

I see I see. Not sure about the tire size since I dont know much about them lol but rims will be 19x10.5 +22 or 19x9.5 +22. Not exactly sure what size Im going to get yet.

 

Tein here no issues yet very comfort ride

 

Are people running the springs with the gsr struts or the mr struts? What would be better?

 

First off. Wheels are not called RIMS! A RIM is "the upper or outer edge of an object." They are called WHEELS Now wheels have a RIM ON THEM, but they are not called RIMS

Now back on topic

The down side with 19" tires is that its harder to find a tire the exact same over height as the stock side. You will ether be taller or shorter than stock.

With a 19x9.5 wheel you would want to run a 265 series wide and then a 30 or 35 side wall. 30 will be shorter height than the over stock size and have a smaller side wall. 35 would give you more side wall, but be taller than stock. I would personally rather have a bit more side wall so you are not driving on rubber bans for tires.

You could also run a 255/35/19 and that would actually be closer to the stock overall height to stock, but you will probably have a slight stretch of the side wall. The 265 will be more square.

With a 19x10.5 you will want to run a 285 series wide tire with a 30 side wall.

The 285/30/19 will actually be really close to the stock over all height to stock.

A 295/30/19 may also be an option as well. It will fit with a more square look than the 285 series wide tire on a 10.5" wide wheel and will be a bit taller than stock.

Stock 245/40/18 = 25.7" Tall

For 19x9.5" wide wheel
255/35/19 = 26" Tall
265/35/19 = 26.3" Tall

For 19x10.5" wide wheel
285/30/19 = 25.8" Tall
295/30/19 = 26" Tall

I would try to find a tire as close to stock height as possible and that is close to square on fitment. If you go to tall or to shot it can throw off your speedometer a bit. I have a car that I bought in the past that came with smaller than OEM tire height and my Speedo was off about 5mph. When I was doing 75mph I was really only going 70mph

I hope some of this helps though.

 

Thanks for the tip man. Hmmm making over think my 19s to 18s lol

 

No problem

I am going 18's on mine to have more tire side wall since I drive about 60-70miles a day.

I don't want to be driving on almost no side wall and bend a wheel ether. More sidewall = a bit more protections

I also said that 18's would work well on both my Evo X and Evo 8 where 19's on a Evo 8 don't look to good in my opinion

I want to be able to swap back and forth on both of those cars

 

AWD cars must run tires whose diameter are the same (or very, very close) on all 4 corners, or you risk ruining your ACD. Since you have a staggered wheel setup, you will run into issues when trying to select tires with same diameter front/rear. I would recommend against trying to run bigger tires in the back with different diameters compared to the front tires.

 

Reason why I stated 19s because the AME TM02 looks better in 19s IMO. For some reason the 18s AME looks small.

 

For you guys on springs does the drop rate start to go down with time?

 

Bumping my old thread but 10.5 or 9.5?

 

This might help!
