I was wanting to get a much better back tire setup with my new power since the stockers aren't doing it for grip and traction at all.
I might keep the same back wheel stock 18x9.5, and put on some Nitto 555r DR's, but I'm considering some Toyo R888's on the back since they grip about the same as the 555r, but have some better wet traction.

Problem is the :305 on these are a lot wider thn normal 305 and I'd need a 19 wheel.
The other 18s in these would be really skinny so they are a no go.

Are there any REALLY cheap 19x10 wheels that would look decent with the stockers I could powder coat black like I did with stockers, then run the stock wheel/tires on the front?
REALLY cheap?

And would it be ok to run this setup?
If so links would be great.

If I can't find any ill go with the stock backs and the 555r 305 in the back.

Thanks!

It's the A-town streets man. My 555s sucked there, here in Utah they grip very well. I had a friend with a KB on his 06 with 500hp to the ground running 305 series 555Rs on a 18x10 wheel and was happy with those

oh and 19" tires are way more expensive than 18"

You ran the 555 DR?

I'll prob run the 305/40/18 555R
Gotta have the DR now with the powa!

I ran a 305/35/18 Mickey Thompson DR on my car with stock wheels. Worked fine.... Just adjust the pressure slightly to keep the wear even. I would run 32-33 psi and they wore just fine, not to mention hooked MUCH better.

I'm concerned about DR's now with the stock suspension and driveshaft.

I heard it can possibly mess these up as well as the clutch and transmission.

Think it could with daily driving and 3k RPM launches at times?

hooking is harder on the drivetrain...so the mentioned parts are stressed more...1 piece driveshaft would be my number 1 priority.and a driveshaft safety loop for safety.
