Guest Gitster Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 17X7 or 18X7.5 in 5X100. I dont think you want to go with 17X7, so that leaves you with 18X7.5. Theres a good amount of tires you can fit on those 18" wheels. You should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. linguini Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Yeah...I was gonna go with the 18's. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 You just gotta watch the tire size. With 7.5" wide wheel you cant go to a 235 tire as XenonK says in his writeup. 225 is your best bet. Stock suspension?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. linguini Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Nah...I got Swift springs right now, but I'm ordering the MR Coilovers, so hopefully I should have those in within the next couple of weeks. All this offset and tire size stuff has me a bit confused..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Jeez man, the answer to your question is only about 600 posts into XenonK's thread... Here's a pic of 225s on 17x7 @ 40 offset on Bosco's car. It all fits, but just barely: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=928297&postcount=624 Later he went with 18x8 @ 48 offset and was happier: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=936474&postcount=628 I was pondering wheels with similar fitment so I took notes when he posted those pics.

mr. linguini Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 lol...yes, well...all I can say is blame it on the OCD! I need to check everything I do about a thousand times. Hmmm...I like the 48 offset pic better. Great...this may take me another month..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. linguini Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 So if I do this...is the tire gonna stick out? It looks pretty darn close in that first pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 as long as you follow my FAQ, you'll be fine. It's practically dummy-proof. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
