Default 19' 360 Forged wheels on a Camaro what size tires?

I was sent some pictures of their wheels and I would like run them. The smallest wheels they make are a 19. I was looking at tire selection and I can run the Nitto Invo in a 255/35 and a 305/30. Will that size work? I am still building the car so the suspension and rearend can be changed to make them fit. Also how does the Invo tires hook, and where do I get those wheels and what should they cost?

Thumbs up

The 255/35/19 would be 26" tall, and the 305/30/19 would be 26.2" tall
They should fit with no problem at all with the right offset wheel; like around +45

Which style? I can put you into a set of 18" iForged Monaco wheels that look similar to their multi-spoke. Colored lips etc... are also available. www.iforged.com

I want these same finish and everything, or something similar to it. I was hoping that you would reply. I know that you have some low profile tires on some of your stuff, how do they hook? My car once assembled should be in the 800-1000 whp range. I have desided that I don't want an all out race car I want something that is very clean and very powerful. Kind of what Mighty Mouse has only in a Camaro. The IForged wheel are nice but I don't like all the bolts being so visable. I like the 360 because they are so clean looking but I am afraid that a 19" tire wont hook and I will have a good looking burnout machine.

I looked at your garage and saw that you sell CCWs so I went to their website and looked at the 505a. I think that those of the wheels I looked at look the best. How big can I run under my car front and rear? I might go ahead and narrow the rear a little so maybe I could get a little bigger wheel and more tire under the car. Please PM me some info Nine Ball thanks man!

360 Forged makes beautiful wheels. A buddy has them on his Audi.

I don't sell CCW, John doesn't have a dealer network. He sells direct.

I can do 18x9 and 18x10 iForged "Classic" wheels without rivets, in 2-piece. Satin black face is no problem. http://iforged.com/us/wheels_detail.php?WhID=17
Those would be around $2692 plus shipping.

Or, I can get DPE LS series "LS-5" in 18x9 and 18x10, without rivets. Satin black no problem. www.DPE-Wheels.com
Those would be around $3400 plus shipping.

So the iForged wheels won't have rivets, they will look more like the CCWs?

Rivets are an option on 2-piece wheels. They are purely cosmetic. Only 3-piece wheels require rivets.

Don't get the DPE wheels. They weigh 50 lbs each and they don't balance. My right front wheel kills puppies for fun and I think the left rear wheel gave me cancer.

I'm totally kidding. I just want to have unique wheels for *just* a little longer.

All kidding aside, the DPE wheels are REALLY great quality. I love mine.

What I need to know is how will 19" or 18" tires hook up? I guess that is the biggest problem/question I have

Tire brand means more than tire size. For example, a 20" drag radial will have more traction than a 17" piece of crap tire.

If you have more than 500 rwhp, pretty much no tire will 'hook' that well on the street.
