same. u might rub and need to roll your fenders with an eibach drop.
i had to roll my fenders with a 19x8.5 +45mm wheel, so yours will stick out (-0.25" + 10mm) farther than mine. about the same really.
alright thanks
would 1996 firebird wheels fit?
no, wrong bolt pattern. a quick search would have told you this.Quote:

Whoops, thought this was the lowering thread, that's what I meant.
so the wheels i bought a while back are no good and can not be saved, I got that from a wheel repair shop, kinda pissed on that, but i have been looking and found a wheel i like the pattern is 5x114.3 the size is 17X7, the offset is +48 and the bore is 75mm, do i need anything by way of spacers or anything else to run these wheels? thanks
you need nothing.
I am looking into getting 18x8 American Racing Villain wheels with some 235/50R18 tires, will this fit correctly? I've been doing research but I want to be sure. Car is a 2005 stock ride height.
they'll be fine, but the 'right' size is 245/45/18.
do you have any offset n tire combos for 16" rims? also will this 4 1/2" LUG PATTERN 16X7 work on our cars?
with 16s you can run damn near any offset you want. 4.5" = 114.3mm, so yes they'll fit. 16x7 is fine considering the stock wheels are 16x6.5.
but my question is why run 16s? its not even an upgrade and the wheels youll end up buying will more than likely be heavier than stock.
nick, add the stock diameter tire sizes to the first page so we dont have to deal with "do i need 245/40/17????????????????!!!!!!?????????" threads.
hm. thought it was in there. done.
also added typical sizes most would recommend.
I dont want to mess up the stock rims. So im getting a set of "egal alloys with tires for $300 while my 18's are being powder coated.Quote:

My calculations put that very close to flush out front, and would require either lower offset or a spacer for flushness in the rear.
not really gonna be flush, but will be more than stock by a good margin.
you gettin' wheels, big guy?
Tossing the idea around...
My measurements say:
around 1" between my tire and the top of the fender in the front.
Rear has 1.25" between the tire and the top of the fender.
the above combo would stick out .9"
This of course being horizontally.
My only concern is, hydroplaning in the rear due to the wider tread.
Thus 225/55r17. But alas, 225/55 on a 17x8 would look a tad odd.
But i could possibly get the same wheels in a +35 to push them back out.
