Which of these two do you think would go better with my 03 silver Galant.

Just don't want to go too crazy and whatever I like in 18's seems to be out of my price range, also I don't want to go too slim with the sidewall....
Basicly just going for a better look without taking any risks, the car is stock and all I want for it is just the wheels and angel eyes.

I really like the TSW's so I'm glad to hear somebody else say it.

i like #1, trust me go with the 18's they cant be that much more and you will be plenty safe with the tires etc i have them on mine and no problems so far, and it is what most of the other members are running here also with no problems

[Jeffylou87]

definitely tsw's

[dknight3]

dont they have to be at least 7.5 wide?

[Galantic]

dont they have to be at least 7.5 wide?

Why do you think so?

[mattalicslvr8g02]

you dont "have to have a 7.5 wide tire" but it is recomended a 7" would be fine though

[dknight3]

i dont know i just remember reading somwhere that your supposed to i dant remember where i might be mistaken, im a noob.

[Reelax]

wider is better (up to a certain point). i would get at least 17 x 7.5 +45mm just to fill out the wheel well width but that's just me. (actually i wouldn't buy 17's at all unless they were for track only use). 17x7 +(36mm-42mm) would look the same from the side i guess, and would fit, but i just like wider wheels than that.

[dknight3]

how wide can the wheels be and still fit good? do you know? im just wondering but im prolly gunna get 18x7.5

[polishmafia]

how about you get the rims that YOU like? :mrgreen:

I never thought of that :roll: , thanks for advice :lol:

the important thing here is the offset as it will affect how wide the wheel and tire can be and still fit under the fender. 18x7.5 +45mm 225/40zr18 is tried and true on the USDM 8G and will always fit w/ no problems (even lowered as much as 3"). hundreds if not thousands of us have (or have had) this configuration.

The G with new rims

Nice choice. 17s are the biggest I would ever go. I prefer 16s though.

[unlimited6986]

for the 7g 16 are good the 8g i wouldnt go bigger then 17's never liked anything big.

[6G72gearhead]

17's are actually about perfect, a 16 is a little too much sidewall and 18's are too heavy and have too much rotational inertia.

However if Hoosier keeps its A6 only available in a 275 for a 16" I'm certainly going to stay with that size.

[galant305]

i like more this first one but 18"
