[mapid145]

do u have a drop or is it stock suspension.. if its stock.. i dont think it will rub..but then agian dont quote me on that

[lKoRTy]

no i got gr2's with teins. com on ive been told in otehr thread 18's with 245 will rub.
lol
btw... offset is 35... will they stick out much?

[4g63lover]

you should be fine with that series tire. I remember Reelax saying something about how that is the perfect tire for 17's. You should get it BBS wheels are hot. It'll look really good.

[lKoRTy]

what about it's offset?
its 35.... will the stick out?

[glantv699]

Hubcaps vs. BBS for $300

I think you know what wins....

and the measurements seem fine, hell if they don't work out, just resell them for 400

[lKoRTy]

what do u have against my hubcaps lol.

[rez887]

what do u have against my hubcaps lol.
take them out and drive with the stock black wheels.

[6G72gearhead]

You think steelies look bad? vvvvvv

[pinoyesv6]

hows the damage on the 2 rashed wheels. rubbing or not, i wouldn't even consider it if u had to replace or pay alot to repair the 2 wheels.

[lKoRTy]

the rash wasnt bad. but the wheels just got sold :( oh well. still waiting.. lol

do the math.

don't b so lazy.

i gave you all the information you would ever need to figure this one out if u sat down and did a little math.

i told you 17x7.5 +45mm 225/45r17 is perfect (also 18x7.5 +45 225/40r18 is perfect - and by perfect i mean 1 finger gap between sidewall and fender on suspension travel). so given that those measurements are "perfect" to get how much more these will stick out by adding 1/4" to each side of the wheel (the wheel is 8" wide so that is 1/2" wider than 7.5", so you add 1/2 of that to each side which means 1/4") and you add 10mm of negative offset (+35mm sticks out 10mm more than +45mm with the same wheel width). so add 1/4" and 10mm to see how much more these will stick out. obviously you can't add inches and mm so you have to convert 1 of them... let's convert the mm to inches since in america we are more familiar with measurements made in the standard scale (althought the metric scale makes way more sense). so i'll give you some info that u could have found in 2.1 seconds by typing in "google" in the address bar of your browser and hitting control+enter, to find the "standard to metric conversion"... 1"=25.2mm. so 25.2mm/1=10mm/x" where x is the unknown. 25.2mmx"=10mm(1") x=0.3968"=0.4" so now add 0.4" and 0.25" = 0.65" or roughly 2/3" so that's how much further than "perfect" they will stick out.

with 18x7.5 +45mm 225/40r18 lowered on H&R cut 1 coil i had less than a finger (1/2") clearance from tire to fender, but i never rubbed. a quarter is 1" wide so 2/3 of that is how much further out these will stick than what i had on my car b4.

17x8 +35mm 225/45r17 will fit your car. will they rub w/o fender rolling? probably... especially if you correct your rear camber, to avoid premature wear on the inside edge of your rear tire tread, as that pushes the tops of the wheels out even more. b prepared to roll/fold/cut out your rear fenders, or look for another set of wheels and tires.

[lKoRTy]

you make it sound that its much easier just to get rims and tires separately lol.

[RedGalant2k1]

you make it sound that its much easier just to get rims and tires separately lol.

Find what makes you happy that fits your vehicle properly.

At stock ride height a 17x8" with a +35mm offset fits without rubbing. Its just like a EVO 8 wheel that several members have already. However if you have lowered, or plan to lower the vehicle it WILL rub, you WILL need to roll the fenders, possible a good bit, but members like ChicagoGTZ (or those who have EVO wheels would be your best sounding board.

[Reelax]

you make it sound that its much easier just to get rims and tires separately lol.

huh? i never said to get wheels and tires seperately. i said you have to get the right size of both for it to fit well. fine don't listen to me, listen to somebody that has done it (since i only have 19"x8.5"):


+35 offset will likely rub, I have 17x8 with a 35mm offset and it rubs in the back alot...but it does look good.


2000 GTZ
Springs - Tein S-tech lowered about 2.2 in front 1.5 in back.
Shocks - KYB AGX all set on 4

if you meant i make it sound like it is easier to get the right sizes new rather than used, then u are right. i bought my wheels and tires new so i could get the exact right sizes for my application without hoping that somebody was selling exactly what i wanted used.

[lKoRTy]

nono, im not saying i not lissening to you, im just saying instead of waiting for the riht set of wheels with tires it will be easier to ger them separate lol.

[Reelax]

nono, im not saying i not lissening to you, im just saying instead of waiting for the riht set of wheels with tires it will be easier to ger them separate lol.

yup. that's why i bought mine new... actually the wheels i got were a brand new design so would have been waiting a LONG time to get them used.

[lKoRTy]

ok well the wheels are up for sale again.
So here's the question. He will let me test-fit them. If i will see that they will stick out to the point where no matter if i roll the fenders or not they will hit it, then obviously i should get it. But if i see that rolling fenders will help - is it worth getting?
Alsom if fender rolling hard/damages the car, so on ?

[Serstylz2]

jus search "rolling fenders" that has been talked about a whole bunch

[lKoRTy]

well i can, but is it worth it? i mean is it really worth rolling them?

[pinoyesv6]

well i can, but is it worth it? i mean is it really worth rolling them?

if you really like the wheels

and the only way to make them fit is to roll the fenders,

would u want to rub aroudn wherever u go?

[lKoRTy]

wouldnt i rub only when car goes down on bumps and such?

[Serstylz2]

ROLL THE DAMN FENDERS AND GET THE DAMN RIMS
and shutup

:lol: :roll:

[pinoyesv6]

if you don't roll, you probably will. if you do roll, you lessen the chances that you do rub.

[rez887]

In one of the tutorial I saw someone used some professional tools to roll the fenders, where I can buy that tool?

[lKoRTy]

but again, the rubbing will only occur when the car will travel down on bumps and such, correct?

[lKoRTy]

but yea, if you're just gonna do your car, might as well pay someone to do it. it doesn't cost that much, and if they screw up, you have a finger to point at.

[krazienluv10]

get an aluminum bat and roll it over between the fender and wheel... thats what my hommie did... u rolled the car foward in drive very slowly and folded it little by little... took about 15 mins for all 4 tires... Dont rush the fold all at once, just ease it in lil by lil

[krazienluv10]

but again, the rubbing will only occur when the car will travel down on bumps and such, correct?

the road is not perfectly smooth soo while ur driving it might be rubbing on the freeway... roll the fenders... :wink:

Thanks so much Pinoy, I met him this weekend in Dallas and got the tool from him and saved on shipping!
