Default VMR VB3 19x9.5 +45 all around 5x120 conversion to 5x114.3 (09 TSX)

VMR VB3 Hyper Black
19x9.5 front and rear!
+45
5x120 CNC milled to 5x114.3
centering rings

i love the color because it looks like black chrome

also concavity all around! mmmmmmmm

shop said to get 265/30/19 all around but
he's going to test mount 275/30/19 to see if there's any rubbing

i have to sell my G35 rims so i can buy tires

there's clearance with inner suspension and brake clearance.

well i did it! 19x9.5 all around fits well!

my car is still in under construction and dirty as hell. i took off my LS tips to be repositioned when i have my type s rear lip on.

so i bought two used 245/35/19 and mounted them on the rims
i put them both on the driver side front and rear. i did a test drive to see if there's any issue with suspension clearance and rubbing. no rubbing what so ever even though im dropped with Tein S Techs (1.6F / 1.4R).

im getting two used tires 235/35/19 in a few days and mounting those on the front this weekend, while the 245/35/19 will go on the rear. also installing hub centering rings next weekend.

car will look a lot better when i have my type s kit repainted and installed with these rims and a car wash

tires look too beefy with 35 series. what you guys think about 30 series?

also i think i need to be lower with some coilovers. we'll see

Doesn't look too bad. I was expecting them to be a little more flush with that much width. Looks better than stock, for sure.

You just HAD to have the Fatlace license plate frame didnt you? :facepalm:


With the new pictures and new stance the car looks muchhh better. It doesnt look like you had to try too hard to get them to fit though. Overall I dig it, those wheels+set up remind me of the 07ish G35 sedan wheels.




Question: how much were your window visors? Assuming you purchased them when you bought your car. And yes they look fresh as can be.

Pro-tip: That carbon fiber overlay looks tacky :/

Looks decent, could go maybe an inch lower and space out the rear just a tad.

best investment ive made so far
just added hub centering rings to reduce/eliminate wheel vibration
$8 for a set of 4. its made of plastic. aluminum centering rings will cost about $25-$40 a set

72.6mm OD (outside diameter) x 64.1mm ID (inner diameter)

i did a test drive on the streets and highway and the vibration has been eliminated!
