Hey All, just left the Curva Concepts headquarters where they test fitted and installed 19x8.5 +35 Cff70 flow forged wheels on 235/40/19 Falken Ziex ZE960. The guys at Curva are great and friendly people. Now I need some springs!

Your speedo will be off a lil. You want a 235/35/19 to stay factory specs. Car is sitting a little high lol

I’m having a hard time picking wheels. I just want below 20 pounds and a pattern that matches the cars lines.

Fronts are good but probably will do the rear.

Your right. The front can use a little. But the rears definitely need them.

Yeah, I wanted a bit of cushier ride so went with the 40 series. I'm old.

So the factory 18 inch wheel and tire sans the TPMS is 51.4 lbs. The new 19 inch wheel with obviously bigger tire and TPMS is a about 2 lbs less. Not a huge weight savings but they are plus size up, so happy enough.

Also tried a 5mm spacer in the rear and not enough thread engagement. I don't think even with a 3mm spacer there will be enough thread. Might just be this particular wheel though.

What summer tires should I get? Stock 18-inch a-spec tech 6MT rims.

Any downsides of running this taller tire 235 40 19 instead of 235 35 19 setup one year later? Rubbing?

Car sold a few months ago but no issues.
