eBay guy - technically yes but everyone will kick your ass if you do. Literally search your ip address, find you, and put a boot print on your ass.

:ylsuper: haha. can you please elaborate on "technically yes"? From what I understand the 5 lug holes are the only thing necessary in order to fit? And you dislike these wheels because of the width or just think they're ugly??? I dont want to buy wheels which require me to modify my car, just something I can throw on and make it look a little cooler, that's why Im concerned with the size. Also, dont want to have to buy crazy expensive tires...

J8635621 05-01-2011 08:09 PM

It won't look cooler. Keep looking. Those are the ugliest freaking wheels ever designed. You can find much better that don't require your car to be modified. It's a little more complicated than just needing 5 lug holes to fit.

Gotcha, so what sizes can I get that don't require modding the car or buying outrageously expensive tires??? Plz help

1. 18x8, 18x8.5, or 18x9 with the offset between +35 and +45
2. Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
3. 245/40/18
4. Doesn't look ethnic

So the 18x7.5 doesnt fit? All the rim websites have 18x7.5 listed as being suitable for this car...I don't quite understand what tire width affects/changes in terms of the size parameters

You need to quit worrying about that stuff. Do what my last post says.

I'm looking to get some new wheels: 18x10 +25. Probably fitting some 255/40 up front and 275/40 in the rear. Although I'm open to suggestions as far as tire sizing.

Thoughts on this setup? As far as needing any possible camber, making it flush, etc.

This is all wrong. No suspension info and you chose the worst size tires you could pretty much.

Right right, hah. Forgot to add that in before I crashed last night.

I'll be on Koni shocks and Megan Springs, the drop according to Chino iirc was about 2.25 F and about 2 in the rear.

As far as the tires, I'm all open to suggestions as to what would fit/work better.

J8635621 05-02-2011 05:17 PM

It's gonna be more like 245/40 all around and require fender roll/bumper tab removal. Wider tires might be possible but more work will be required.

NautyOne 05-02-2011 05:21 PM

Gotcha, thanks for the insight.

One more thing, as far as them being 18x10 +25, how will these sit? Will it be more towards the flush side or poke?

The Reverend 05-02-2011 05:25 PM

they will be 5mm out further than these

That's 245/45s on 17x10 +25

The Reverend 05-02-2011 07:28 PM

the pic i posted i was on tanabe gf and koni shocks (almost identical drop to yours) and 245/40 tires also if you decide to go with j's suggestion thats why i posted it :)

MAZSPDRX8 05-02-2011 08:25 PM

Will this fit, 275/35/19 on 9.5 rim offset +40 for the rears...

J8635621 05-02-2011 08:29 PM

Depends.........Roll the fenders and it'll work though the tires are a bit tall.

MAZSPDRX8 05-02-2011 08:32 PM

Fronts are 19x8.5 offsets+40 and rears are 19x9.5 offsets +40 lowered on eibach springs.
Im putting 245/35/19 tires for fronts and 275/35/19 on rears. Any sugessting on my setup, im planning on rolling my rears. Will this setup be okay....

J8635621 05-02-2011 09:43 PM

275/30 is closer to OEM size That should work fine

Ross_Dawg 05-02-2011 10:00 PM

I got exhausted just reading these last few posts lol... good work J :D:

MAZSPDRX8 05-02-2011 11:26 PM

Thanks for shinin the light...

Alright I got some Stance Gr+ on the way, but I think I'm gonna settle on 18" rims instead of 19's. I was looking at Rota torque 18x9.5 +25 all around with 245/35/18's. Will the tires be a good fit, and how low can I go with this setup w/out any scrubbing? For anyone who didn't read my previous post, I'm okay with rolling my fenders and trimming the rear bumper tab. Any opinions/ suggestions would be great. Thanks!

J8635621 05-03-2011 12:44 PM

245/40s and the fender mods I told you should allow you to go low as you could ever want. I have that setup pretty much.

mscamp02 05-03-2011 07:21 PM

aright because I dont see myself buying a more aggressive set or rims in the near term Ive decided to pick up a set of spacers for my rears just havent quite picked out which ones.

I am currently running 17x9.5 +30 on 245/45, lowered on eibach springs and bilstein shocks, and the fitment for the front is about where I want it but the rears are just a little to far sunk in. I am down between 15 and 20mm spacers. I have my fenders rolled and would really prefer to not have to do to much else to get it to fit.

I used to run 17x10 +25 on 245/45 on the same suspension with no rubbing issues.

J8635621 05-03-2011 07:28 PM

You had 10+25 with 245s and just rolled the fenders? That's equivalent to 9.5 +22ish with 245s. Far cry from 15-20mm spacers (I'm sure they are doable though with more work). FWIW I rubbed like hell on the bumper tab with 9.5 +28 and 245s. I trimmed a bit of it off and still rub at 9.5 +23.
