Rim Questions

[D03GTZ]

First off does anybody know offhand the dimensions on the new GTZ wheels? (i.e. width, backspacing, bolt pattern) Also what is the biggest wheel anybody here has put on their Galant? I was hoping to put 19s, but reading most of your guys descriptions, it seams the biggest I have seen so far is 18. Will 19s fit without problems? Also how about width? I would like to put 245s or even 255s but I highly doubt that they would fit without rubbing.

biggest wheel put on a galant 20's but they aren't that practical. 19's will fit as long as its not too wide and u stay close to the stock offset. 8 inch wheels would fit 8.5 you do run a bigger risk of rubbing,

[D03GTZ]

So in theory I could go with what I want depending on backspacing which I am trying to find out. I was planning on 19x8 hopefully 255 tires, but more realistically 235s with probably 35 0r 40 AR

Here are some pics of Dave@SE's Galant with 19's. He has 225/35 tires and no rubbing. I don't think you can get much bigger tires than that.

Wow, that looks bad ass! Well Im most likely getting 19s then. Do you know the other dimensions of his rims by any chance?

[pinoyesv6]

he's correct me if im wrong but he's pushing the 19x8's

[D03GTZ]

Hey, are 8.5s pushing it?

yup, gotta watch the offset really good or ur gonna start rubbing.

go with 19 x 7.5 to avoid any hassles (225/35). i got C5's in that measurement. you wont really miss the 1/2-1 in. difference.

For anyone interested, I found DesignManFX's pics on speedoptions.com which show two different sets of 19's. Click here ('http://www.speedoptions.com/profiles/driverview.php?id=18999'). I haven't talked to him in along time, but last I heard his car was jacked.

2 Things.

#1 About a camber kit. I'd hold back on that for a lil bit. I know people like BGR have their cambers slightly off and they don't rub. But DANJ who has a similar setup has the camber kit and he rubs. Now unless ur camber is odff dramatically, i just suggest rotating the tires every once in a while to keep them lasting longer with the slightly off camber.

#2 About DesignManFX. HE gave the arospeed coilovers a 10. He is like the only person that i've seen to praise the arospeed coilovers. NOw i dunno if that has to do with him working for speed and style (the biggest arospeed dealer) or if he knows something we don't. But yea every1 else says that they suck
