ok, so i did some searching and found that 18x8 inch rims with a 38mm offset and 235/40R18 tires will fit my sonata
but then i got to thinking that i would wanna upgrade later to 19's so ive been looking for rim/tire packages that will fit but im not 100% positive.


The rims i wanna get are TSW Vairano 19x8" with a 40mm offset

Ive been thinking about these tires:

Sunny SN3800 235/35/ZR19
Goodyear Eagle F1 225/35/R19
Toyo Proxes 4 or T1R 225/35/ZR19


Which would be the best tire to get that would fit with no rubbing or would any of them work?


-thx

Nice rims. Do you really want your Sonata to ride like a tank? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

ok, a sonata 2006 , you can put up to 20" inch rims , with offset's between 38 to 48 depending on the size of rim u choose.

if you want 19" rims ., go with an offset of 40. and rim width of 8" inches. 19" X 8

and for the tire size go with the 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 although if you carry people in the back alot then dont get the 245 series go with 235

hope this helps.

also i have 19" rims on my car with 245/35 series tires, and i have no rubbing at all.

Get the eagles or toyos. No name brand tires scare me.

agree with Dog... if you're gonna spend the money to get nice after-market rims (although, IMO, anything more then 18's look bad on the Sonata), dont kill it by getting crap tires... only get no-name tires for a beater car that you plan to get rid of within 20k miles... (like my old 91 Cavalier RS)

i rub with passengers in the rear with my 19x8.5 (offset 35) on 245/35/19s.
i bought 2 used perellis last night for $25 each, they are 245/45/r19 should i put them in the rear for a staggered look or put them in the front were it would fit with out issues yet look silly that i have bigger tires up front.

I agree with dog. Anytime you go off brand on the tires you're running the risk of putting your rims in danger of damage. Stick to the name brands. I have an 18" rim similar to the ones you're looking at, and wouldn't drop the cash on the rim without protecting them with that right tire.

Originally I was going to get a set of the TSW Nogaro but then I changed my mind at the last second. Anyhoo, the tires you mentioned:

Sunny SN3800 235/35/ZR19
Goodyear Eagle F1 225/35/R19
Toyo Proxes 4 or T1R 225/35/ZR19


If you're seriously considering the last two on that list, don't buy the Sunnys. I have them and while they provide good grip for the price, they are really noisy. However, on the plus side, they do last for a summer tire. I've had my set for about 7 months now and there's still no sign of noticeable wear. BTW, a 35 series sidewall on a 225 tire is extremely small.

Even if i put the eibach lowering spring on it still shouldn't rub? The back is gunna stay stock but i think its a little lower than what the springs will do cuz i got a system in the trunk weighing it down

the eibach springs should do you fine. I was going to do the same thing on mine and just drop the front, I ordered some H&R springs off ebay, and im only going to drop the fronts., since my rear end is already lowered due to my 250 lb box in the trunk! the H&R springs drop a 1.4" inches in the fronts. and 1.3" in rear.
ill let you know how that comes out, im planning on dropping it this Thursday.

The Eagle f1 all seasons have a 420 treadwear

My brother has some toyo proxes on his jeep and if im not mistaken they have a 420 treadwear as well and hes' had em for about 5-6 months i think and they don't looks like they've worn at all

After some thought i have decided to go with 18's instead with a 235/40/r18 goodyear eagle f1 all season tire

The reason for the change is cuz ive been seeing a lot of bmw 5 series lately and i love how the rim to tire ratio looks and i finally looked at one in the parking lot yesterday and they have a 245/40/r/18 tire on em so i figure a 235 should look pretty similar

Thank you...im very pleased with my purchase (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)

Rims - $844.80 Discount Tire Direct (Ebay) were $221 each, but on sale for $209 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

Powder coat - $200 ZPS Powder coating (Largo, Fl)

Tires - ~$135 a piece (Goodyear)....he couldn't get an exact price today since he's gettin em for what he pays and they were closed(Friends...what would you do without em (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) )

So far ive spent $1044.80 after monday add another $540 approximately


BUT, i just remembered that i need some hub centric rings so I probably wont get to put em on tuesday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/crying.gif) Anyone know where i can get em cheap...or fast?

To get them fast it would probably be best to go to a local tire/wheel shop and get a set. It shouldn't be too expensive either.
