Default Mandrus Wilhelm & Tire

Hey guys,

I want to order black Mandrus Wilhelm wheels with Hankook tires for my black 2005 NA Crossfire (not lowered).

Would this size wheel work:
18x8.5 Offset 32mm Front
19x9.5 Offset 25mm Rear

Would this size tire work:
235.35.18 Front
275.35.19 Rear

And if there sizes do work, would I still be able to lower the car with Eibach Pro spring kit?

Thanks guys!

A quick answer is yes. I run the same wheels on both of mine. I have the stock 225/40/18 front but went 285/30/19 for rears. A little wider tire would definitely look better on the wider front wheel (8.5 vs 7.5) but I was afraid of rubbing. I'd love to see someone else chime in on the wider/lower rubber since I'm about do for a set.

Yeah the only thing I'm not sure about is the front tires. Wasn't able to find out on other threads.

Bump. Would really like to know if those front tires work before pulling the trigger.

AC/No DC ... one thing I forgot to bring up about those wheels. The second set that I bought developed an issue with the rears after a year. It almost looks like hair or dust was under the finish and when I washed them it showed. My first set of rears are fine as well as all four front wheels. I tried to contact the manufacturer but never heard back.

Thanks for letting me know, that sucks! Did your first set have any issue? Where did you buy your second set?

I bought both sets from wheelstudio.com . I have no issues with the first set other than they seemed to be a b!tch to balance with TPMS. Since the problem was only with the second set of rears, I suspect it was a batch issue. That was my inquiry to the manufacturer but what I heard back was mute crickets.
