Show me your CX-5 wheels

[Rawyzf]

Picked up a 2019 Signature a few weeks back and replaced the wheels with RAYS Gram Lights 57Transcend. Specs are 19x8.5" 38mm offset, tires 245/50/19. Perfect flush with fenders but thinking about putting the Eibach pro kit springs on this spring to eliminate some of the gap.

Wheels look great! That gap could use some help though, like you mentioned.

Looks great! Is your CX-5 Jet Black, of Crystal Blue Mica? Oh, and nice screen name!

That looks fantastic. Lowering it would just make it fantasticer!

Thanks, it's Jet Black but just very dirty

Passenger side tires appear to be mounted inside-out. The beauty of directional tires. Need to head back to the tire shop and have them re-mount those two. Wheels look great.

Which post are you referring to?

 

[nakedbandit]

Yours. The black signature. You should be able to find a direction arrow on the sidewall.

Not mine (we have similar screen names). But, they appear to be installed correctly. They are these Firehawks and show that the side labeled "outside" is on that side. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireModel=Firehawk+Indy+500&tireMake=Firestone

So links on here don't work. Look up Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires.

I stand corrected. They look weird to have a zipper tread pattern along the outside edge on a inside/outside tire instead of being a directional tire.

My wife has these on her JETTA and they are awesome. Can't beat the price for performance on these. I just washed and shined the tires... yes I like shine.

new shoes

Just got my new shoes...Niche Stacatto 19 X 8.5 35 offset w/ NITTO MOTIVO 255/50/19. You can see the weight difference with the factory 19's. Installed McGard spline drive set w/locks and properly torqued.

I love the ass shots....

 

[7eregrine]

Very nice.

Looks great...no rubbing issues with the 255's? I have 245/20's on ours as the place I ordered our wheel/tire combo set from said the 255's would rub. My offset is also 35.

Those look very nice.

no rubbing issues....and thank you. Those wheels are almost like the ones on my wifes jetta...and I had those tires before also and they are awesome. Rugged looking but were pretty quiet and they grip.

Nice. I was thinking about getting Staccatos for my CX-9, but ended up going a different way. Looks great
