19" wheels on a GTS

[vpr]

Just about to order a set of 19's for the Viper and I thought I'd better ask if any of you Viper owners have any experience good or bad in relation to fitment.

I've always fancied the Kineses K29 wheels for years now and I'm just finding enough excuses now to go for them....Don't like the Startech wheels personally I think they look a bit "bling" and thats the last thing the Viper needs..

Phil...I'd be interested to know what size and make of tyre you went for?

The Fronts are 275/30ZR19 (rims 11") and the rears are 345/ 30ZR19 (rims 13").

Did you find a tyre fitter over here capable of fitting and balencing that size!?

Phil

They are recomending the same at the front but 335/25/19 at the rear to keep the rolling radius the same..trouble is I dont think they are available in the UK.I@m having trouble...What make are yours and where did you source them?

Any pictures?

[Phil E]

The rims are VR1 Forgelines and I sourced them through Jon B at Partsrack. (look under the links of this site and you can see the pictures / details.) The tyres are Michelin pilots. I originally wanted the Purners, but they seem to have some manufacturing issues and could not provide any indication on possible delivery date! I hope that helps.

Nad,

The rims and tyres came fitted and balanced. Normally I use a local firm Guildford Tyres who do race and are experienced in fitting wide tyres to more exotic cars, such as F40's etc.

I love the picture of the Lil' viper.

Regards,


Phil
