I'm planning on purchasing a set of T-S5 (19x9.5 +45). I've never purchased a set of aftermarket wheels before so I want to make sure I'm covering all my bases.

I'll be using these wheels all year round so I'll be picking up some all season tires (CONTINENTALEXTREME CONTACT DWS06 PLUS). After reading through the tread it seems like 255/35/19 on STOCK height is safe with NO rubbing, correct? I don't plan on lowering it BUT if the wheel gap isn't to my liking then I would eventually lower it (Spoon springs). Would I rub with a 255/35 tire when lowered?

Besides the wheels & tires is there anything else I need to purchase for the wheels? Lug nuts?
I ran that setup (TS-5 19x9.5 +45 and 255/35 Falken FK510s) for 2-3 years lowered on Spoon and never had issues with rubbing. No camber arms either. +45 is a pretty safe offset from what I've seen.

You'll def need lug nuts since the OEM ones aren't conical.

We can get you taken care of for ordering those Titan products. Tire choice is fine. Lug nuts are also highly recommended, titan7 has titanium lugs if interested in those.

Josh,

What is the wait time for the wheels to be shipped out if I were to order them this week?

Would one of you kind individuals give me your impressions on a 265/40/18 on enkei 18x9.5 et 40? This will be a replacement for my stock Fk8 20". I'm not a track guy, but do enjoy spirited driving and the annual dragon run.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guy
I ran that setup (TS-5 19x9.5 +45 and 255/35 Falken FK510s) for 2-3 years lowered on Spoon and never had issues with rubbing. No camber arms either. +45 is a pretty safe offset from what I've seen.

Hey guys. I just went with this same setup. Titan Ts-5's w/ Michelin 255/35/19 tires. Had the wheels mounted, balance and aligned. Now I am getting what feels like a wobble coming from the rear. Any ideas or did you experience anything like that?

Hmm. Nothing like that happened to me. This setup felt great for me the entire time I ran them.

Might wanna go back and get the alignment and wheels checked again? Or at least double check that the wheels were tightened properly? Could even try to rotate them and see if the wobble is still there and/or in the same place for some troubleshooting, maybe.

Diagnosis. New Michelin tire was "out of round". New tire is on order. Should sort the issue.

More pics! So good!
If I don’t go with NSX wheels I’m thinking t-r10 is a close second option. The black looks perfect on your Aegean Blue!
