#78856, "Quick Opinion on New brand of wheels called AZA."


          

Hey I seen wheel max is carrying a new brand of rims called AZA. I like these ones here for the widebody. I could manage to get them in 18"x19.5" so I dont have to use wheel spacers and they will still lay flesh with the panels atleast, or I think so. Let me know your thoughts on these and if you think they would look nice on the widebody I am doing.



Thanks for your input

Mike

I don't know about the wheel company, but that is basically the Konig Imagine, and the HP Racing Evo, Excel even makes a wheel in that design.

dude, if you meant to say 18x9.5, get ready for those badboys to rub like no other, unless you don't plan on dropping your car at all. If I remember correctly, I called in on those and the offset is +45. You will have to go with a 225 or 235 tire for sure, maybe 245, but find out before you buy anything, it sucks ass when your tires rub, I know.

I have the HP Design Evo version of those wheels. 18x8, +40mm, and 235 tires. I'm lowered about 2" and these tires rub on dips, etc.

Be careful.

If you want some good pictures of how these look on an eclipse, lemme know, send me a PM, I'll send you some good links.

All those with 18" rims, did you all go with a 225, 235, or 245 tire?

It is not just the tire size that determines if it will fit. There are 4 main factors to look at.

1. Wheel width (7.5, 8, 8.5)
2. Wheel Offset (+38, +40, +42, +45)
3. Tire size (215, 225, 235)
4. Lowered amount

If your car is stock ride height, throw whatever rims you want on your car, as your lowered amount gets higher and higher, you tire size has to go down in width to fit.

Just my two cents, and I know there are circumstances where certain wheels will fit and others won't, but there are a lot of factors to put into your tire/wheel combo.
