Hey guys!

Recommended fitment is the following:
Front - 19x9.5 ET55 - 265/35/19 tires

HRE Performance Wheels' all new line of FlowForm wheels are manufactured utilizng a unique casting and forming process that creates a wheel with strength properties similar to those of a forged wheel.

The process begins with pouring molten aluminum into a mold face-side-down, where it is then rapidly cooled. By quickly cooling the metal down right after heating it up (sometimes referred to as quenching), the aluminum alloy becomes more dense, and thereby enhancing the elastic strength and durability of the wheel.

After the wheel face is formed (Fig A), it is pulled from the mold and placed into the flow-forming machine, (Fig B) which operates in a manner similar to a potters' wheel. This process stretches the barrel downward, causing the metal to "flow" into the correct "form", hence the name, and this process ultimately gives the wheel its final shape (Fig C).

This "stretching" process changes the internal grain structure of the aluminum (much like the direction of the grain makes a difference in wood), making it stronger, lighter and more precise than a non-flow-formed barrel, resulting in forged aluminum-like strength.

Wont those sizes for the FF01 add a fair bit more sidewall than stock? Seeing as they maintain the same ratio but have a wider cross section.

With these HRE FF01 wheels, you can reuse the factory tires if you have on the OEM Z51 package, or you can use 255/35/19 and 295/30/20 tires which will be perfect for this set up!
