Ok so I want to paint the valve cover but I'm not really sure what color I was thinking about gold but I don't want people to think I'm copying beam514, any suggestions?

I called my local rim shop about the rims and they told me I the gold ones wouldn't fit on the galant because they are 8in wide, so now I gotta find some other rims.
You should do it gold or same color as your car but why wouldn't they fit? I was running 20x8.5 at one point now I have 18x8.5 R and 18x8 F some ppl are even running 9

Talk to some of the other wheel guru's on here, depending on the offset, and the use of spacers and rolled fenders, 8" will fit, I plan on throwing some 18 x 8" rims on mine shortly.

Guys that said no you wanting 8" wide wheels are full of Caca's.
Here's what you need. Scroll down to wheel fitment section. There's even a G with 20x9.5 that stick out a bit because of the low offset.
Maybe Cody (Blue8g) can find you a set for more cheaps than your local shop, like he did for Adrian (Beam514)

Idk they told me they wouldn't, did you modified anything?
No I didn't for my 20's but for my 18's I'm using spacers cuz the center bore of my lex wheels are to small but you should definitely get them

Haha, caca, well I check that out when I get home.
Ok the guy told me they would fit but they might rub and he wanted to get me some that would fit perfect and not rub, but he can get them for me if I want to.
mmm I don't really mind. I might change it up soon anyway. But there's only so many colors that will fit right?
what diameter? I'm running 17x8 +45
Yea I know what you mean.
They are 17s too.

well, I'll tell you that 17x8 +45 will fit then lol. xd_01 is running 17x8 +35 and they poke a little bit.
Do they rub?
they'll rub in the rear, just roll your rear fenders and no more rub, people have been running 17x8 +38 evo 7-9 wheels for a long time with just a rear fender roll depending on tire size, unless the offset is something stupid in the teens, you'll be fine...

17x8 +45 with 215/50/17 don't rub at all. Fenders aren't even rolled. When the suspension is compressed, there is like 2 or 3mm of clearance from the inner fender lip I think.
