Default RPM 505 wheels help

Hello guy, Im in the process of buying new wheels and I think Im going to go for the RPM 505 wheels hyper silver 19X9.5 all around, my question is what size tire do you all suggest for me to run, could I run 285s? Also could someone do a photo shop of such wheels on my car? Thanks in advice
I uploaded several pictures, chose the best angle to do the shop, I already have lowering spring, shocks and rotors waiting to be installed.

Finally got to installing the lowering springs, shocks, and rotors, This will be a better picture to shop.

I have 9.5's on my rpm505's and I run 275's. I would think you would be able to run 285's... aside from that I would suggest you not get 19 all around. I have 18's up front and 19's in the back and imo the 18's look much better. With the 19's there is hardly any tire left..

I personally like 19 better, Im still going to keep the speedlines for track use.

Well whatever makes you happiest is the best way to go!
I do agree that keeping those other wheels are a good idea.
I ran yesterday with my 275's and the best time I could pull was a 12.5 with a 2.2 sixty foot. Be aware of how fragile your rear end is if you're going to launch hard with drag radials. Best of luck to you and enjoy all the looks you'll get from having those wheels!

I know how fragile they are, broke the one on my previous TA on regular nt05s and the car was stock.

There's plenty of pictures of cars with the wheels you're looking for on this site.

Default RPM wheels HELP please!

Hey guys I am pretty new to this forum but I have gotten a lot of really good information on here and I need help.. I have a stock 2000 Trans am WS6 and im looking to find out if I can run a 20mm offset on my rear wheel without any issues? Im getting the RPM 505's Hyper Silver 18x8 w/ 38mm offset in the front and I want 18x9 w/ 20mm offset in the rear...is this possible without having to modify my fenders in anyway? The sales guy from the website said I might have an issue with my tires rubbing if I run 20mm offset so I really need to confirm this. Also they only sell the rims in 5x120 bolt pattern and the t/a is 5x120.7 will that be an issue?? Thanks soo much!
