Best thing to do is test fit them and see how you like them and go from there. Worse case scenario they are free so you won't be losing anything but effort if you decide you hate them

9.5 wide will look goofy as ****.

Looked at my brothers car and saw how much they stick out I am also thinking 9.5'' is too much, but will try one side on just to see how goofy it can look whenever we get a nice day, will take pics.

OMG
What a bunch of pansy. Probably old grandpa's driving all them impala's anyways. I dont think like to go out of the norm.
The wheels will bolt on, but the 9.5" are going stick out far and might look ugly.

ya they wont give up lol.

you could run 9.5" wide wheels if you wanted to stretch, pull, and tuck.

but since you're not, it won't look good and it'll look all mexi'd out.

ya dont think i would go that far. im 90% sure im not doing it but want to try and take some pics just for ****s and giggles

They are still fighting about it lmao

the people that argue about it are the ones that don't know a god damn thing about measuring things or physics. that's the issue.

back rims were rubbing didnt even lower it down didnt want to dmg the rubber, fronts were fine.
PICS









Were it was hitting on the back rim


and for fun mustang with my rim on lol

See, those 9.5" are just too wide. Need a lower offset for them to fit. Like +25mm

Lower offset woulda worked. Not saying it woulda looked good tho.

jacking up cars on unstable ground. safe. lol

mustang had 2 jack stands and 2 jacks under it and all jack stands were wood so wouldnt sink into the ground..
my brother would not let his mustang just fall to the ground lmao
my impala on the other hand.. he would laugh lols

they'll fit. a bunch of guys run that size.

they are a bit big for most, though. you may have to do a little fender work to get them in there without rubbing.

welcome to the site 04palass, Im sorry you had to go through that whole bs thread.. plenty of people on this site have ran 5x114.3 rims and years and never broke a stud, ppl that do break studs either have old studs that were ready to break or the installed the rims incorrectly, like not using a torque wrench etc etc

Wow those guys really went at it. I have been using the 5x114.3 bolt pattern since 07. Not once have I had issues with a stud breaking. I also use hub rings. Those that break them are usually over tightening them. I actually broke a stud on a set of 5x115 wheels. When I had it replaced, the guy at the shop told me the factory studs are really soft metal.

thats sweet man, I would copy and paste your post on the impala site if it would start the war all over again lol
