Hey guys, I just purchased some 2 Crave Mach 5's! They fit on the VT perfect, not as big as I thought it was going to turn out to be and looks just slightly larger then the stock 18s. It's also got a nice concave look to it, with the tire's being stretched just a smidgen. The vehicle is at stock height, and I do have intention's on slamming it.

Rim Specs: 20x8.5 +40 all around
Tire Specs: 225/30/ZR20 all around

Here's a pic of them I'll post pics of them on the car tomorrow, when there is sunlight.

Let me know what you think.

**************** UPDATE WITH PICS ON VT *****************

The ride quality is good just a tad bit stiffer as I can feel more bumps in the road...

Weight?

Not a 100% certain when I talked to the salesman he said they were around 18 pounds each or so, but when I carried them physically w/ the tire compared to when I lifted the stock wheels the 20s surprisingly felt lighter. They are complete alloy rims. And finally got on some sticky tires, rather then those horrible stock Kumho's

Good deal then, they look good with the black rim. What model tires?

Thanks man, and they are on Winrun Tires.

 

[Rotation]

Errrrr... Say what?

I said the same thing lol They are Z Rated tires... Check out their website, their prices are affordable.

Mkay, Taiwanese tires, what model?

I can't remember, I'll check tomorrow morning when the sunlight is out. And keep you updated.

I'll keep you updated man, remember the VT is at stock height, and I plan on slamming it on coils soon...

 

[Rotation]

Are WinRun tires any good? : General Chat

Hmm interesting thread, I'll keep everyone posted on the performance of the tires like a Guinea Pig >.<
I have full coverage warranty on both the tires and rims, so if anything does happen I will be covered ^.^

DAMNIT! Why can't it be sunlight now?! I can not wait to see them!

Congrats.

Thanks man, I'll be sure to keep you updated with pics, if you'd like any specific ones of the wheel's just let me know...

While I completely understand the need to save a few bucks, it's really not a good idea to skimp on tires. Another forum thread:

Yeah I've been noticing that, thanks for the look out.

LMAO!!!!

Some of the responses are funny!!!

"20s and cheap tires. Sounds good."

"If they hold air... what else could you possibly need in a 20?"

While I am a tire GURU!!!! I understand going cheap AT first to get rolling then later on getting what you really want. That is what I will be doing. it is expensive to get quality rims AND quality tires. Just drive more careful especially in wet weather. BUT if you like them and they are still cheap, I don't see why you wouldn't go back. In a perfect world I would be buying quality michelins or bridgestones...but I my pockets don't always run deep so I do what I can.

Just be a good driver and avoid pot wholes and curves. Cheap tires are great (as long as they hold air like some others say LOL) but keep in mind they are probably a bit more fragile. OR maybe they are sturdy. We don't know.

on the tire spec you said "Tire Specs: 225/30/ZR20 all around" what is the load rating and the speed rating?? is it like 85y or 89w? it'll say on the tire right next to the size usually.

LOL! Very true. && I'm not certain I'll check tomorrow morning, I'll also post pics of them so you can see for yourself... And if I might add the 8.5 width is perfect flush fitment with the fender's without the need of any fender work... On the stock suspension even with the 20s when I hit a dip the tires tuck in smoothly with no rubbing, as well as having 4 adults in my car. Just in case anyone was wondering...

 

[MyDianaZ06]

Good idea, wouldn't want to be taking curves on those discards.

hell yeah. rubber bands lol I bet they are going to look great though

it's not just because they are 8.5 width, but also +40. that's a high offset and not too much wide of a wheel. that is a desired size if you want a flush fitment. you shouldn't have to worry about rubbing at all. good choice in wheel dimensions. and look too.

You know you can't put Taiwanese tires on a Korean car, right! .. you'll be sparking off some kinda International incident :wink:

 

[TheBlackBass]

Having worked as an engineer in a tire factory for 5 years and learning what I have, let's just say I won't be buying cheap tires ever again.
