Thoughts on HRE P43

08-01-2011

Wanted to get opinions on running 19" P43s on stock suspension. Will the fender gap be too much? I really like the stock ride and don't want to change suspension.

Feedback here would be great. Thanks!

if you get the right size and offset wheels and right size tires they can look drop.

after looking at the P43 they only look good on 18's with meaty tires... (track set up tires)

I think the P43 is a great looking wheel. One size up 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 tires will fill the wheel well up a bit. In addition, the P43's that HRE will recommend will likely have less offset which will also help.

The link is to my standard ride height car with 19x9 & 19x10 RAC RG63's that are both +22 offset with 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 Vreds which should give you an idea about the fender gap that your setup could have.

Here are some photos of my old set-up. Lowered on RDSport springs.

Love P43s, one of the top few wheels for this car IMO. I like the style of the P43S and they do look good in 18s.

One car you might want to reference is the Arkym M3. It has a Satin Black set of P43S' (F:19x9.5, R:19x10.5)

I'm sure even without a similar drop, you would still get a decent stance and the look you're going for. : )
