hey guys what you think about these
http://www.victoriatire.com/wheel_STERN_TOURING%20SILVER_MITSUBISHI_GALANT%209 9-03_18_18

they are 18.5.5x4 with strata zeno tires for $950 brand new ? will they fit perfectly on our cars??

[E_Emerson88]

damn those are nice!!!!!! good luck with that

[showtime]

seams pretty wide for our cars, but im not 100%. 8.5" wide I would think you would need a larger tire, 225 seams small. Greddy has 235's on his 8" wide evo wheels.

[karn]

well galant 3333 are selling these and thats what he has on his car. highest offset it comes with is like 32 or 35 im not sure.. and he said 225/35/18 and 225/40/18 on bak. that way it wont rub.

those actually look good. And yes, they will fit a stock 8G.
And get 225/40/18 tires all around.

[showtime]

oh nice, then nvm what I said lol.

[IVORY_G]

Those are nice wheels. 8.5" will fit, but you'll have to shave or roll your rear fenders for these to prevent rubbing. And put 235/40/18 all the way around. 225's will be too skinny for 8.5" wide wheels. And putting different size tires on will prevent you from rotating your tires. Not to mention looking ugly, bcz the skinny tires will be in back. I have 19"x 8.5" and they sit on 235/35/19 tires. Its a perfect fit. 225's are for 7-8" wide wheels.

[karn]

sooo 235/40/18s huh? mmm... sounds good to me. any recommendation for tires.. cuz im definately getting these rims.

[karn]

how do you guys think about
225/45/18s on a 18x9.5 in the rear
225/40/18s on a 18x8.5 in the front

sounds good??

[Galante]

Get this package

225/40/18 on a 18x7.5

or

235/40/18 on a 18x8.5

[karn]

okay thank you thats what im gonna do..
also 235/40/18 is also good on 18x9.5 right??

soo 235/40/18 all around

cuz im buying 2x wheels 18x9.5 (rear)
and 2x 18.8.5

[showtime]

why by 9.5 Inch wheels just for the back?

[karn]

thats how someone is selling them to me.. and i guess it wont look bad if the rear wheels are a inch wider now would it?

[showtime]

i just wouldnt understand getting wider rims for the wheels that dont supply the power, I'd understand if you have a RWD car with some serious power. IMO I would get all the same size (rims and tires) so you can rotate them and keep the tire tread life longer.

[showtime]

Im just speaking for myself, its you car you need to be happy with what you do. If you want to do it than do it.

[karn]

yeah but i gotta take what im getting.

[showtime]

for sure dude, do it up! Post pics when you get them, I want to see them installed.

[9G]

you're the man

[karn]

yeah its still sale pending. btw anyone knows similar rims but from a well known manufacturer? i have never heard of stern

[showtime]

you're the man

who?

[karn]

is 53lbs front and 55lbs in bak too heavy for wheels?

[pinoyesv6]

is 53lbs front and 55lbs in bak too heavy for wheels?

if they were made out of lead...no.

[IVORY_G]

okay thank you thats what im gonna do..
also 235/40/18 is also good on 18x9.5 right??

soo 235/40/18 all around

If you're buying 9.5" for the rear, (which I wouldnt recommend for a FWD car) your tires width would have to be either 245 or 255. 235's would be fine for the front wheels, but they would be stretched too much for the rears @ 9.5" wide.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

also u wont be able to rotate tires

[IVORY_G]

Are you kidding me?! Thats gotta be a joke. Ive never heard of wheels weighing that much. You're gonna blow your tranny within the next year if its a daily driver.

[greddy]

only reason I run 235s is because I like the wide contact patch, but my fenders are pretty heavily modified because off my ride height

[DaveMitsubishi]

nice wheels get some Nice NT05 235/45 tires for some nice summer grip =)

[Reelax]

wait you are getting way ahead of yourself. is the car lowered? what are the offsets on the wheels? 9.5" is going to be pushing the limits of clearance in the rear... drop, camber, offset and tire width will become crucial to getting them to fit (and you will most likely have to cut the rear fenders out). we need more info on your suspension setup and wheel offsets to give you any good advice on if they will even work (each width is going to need to be within a certain range to fit under the fenders... and the higher the width, the narrower the acceptable offset range). any wheel over 8" is going to probably require rear fender modifications if dropped deep, especially if you want to maintain correct camber.

[Reelax]

tire too tall. 235/45r18 = 26.3" diameter. stock tire height is around 25". speedo will be off more than 5%.

[karn]

reelax. these have already been on a mitsubishi. go look in sale section under galant3333. im buying them off him. he said he dropped his car 2.2' with coilovers and rolled his fenders but hes on 225/45/18s. and look up stern wheels i was researching yesterday and i saw they are extremely heavy :(. soo please can someone give me an input before i break my piggybank and buy them.

[karn]

and if those wont fit. i can order from website 18x8.5 all around with 235/40/18s i think its 38 offset or 35. but yeah soo the off the website with nankang sII tires is a 100% fit right with tein s-tech dropped and a good alignment.

[IVORY_G]

From the sellers pix it looks as if it fits well, but I would ask everything he had to do to get them to fit. On the other hand, I wouldnt buy wheels that weigh that much. Normally wheels weigh half that weight.

[karn]

whats the normal weight of a wheel. per wheel without with tire.

[IVORY_G]

19-30 lbs each. Some lightweight racing wheels are as light as 15 lbs.

[karn]

soo then its good y are u guys freaking out.. i said 50lbs in front from what im thinkin thats 2 wheels combined in front and 55 in bank thats 2 weeks in back :)?

i will verify the weight from the seller. and he said he has it dropped 2.2inches with coilovers. he just rolled his fenders in the back a little bit and front is fine

[IVORY_G]

Well u didnt clarify that. If thats weight in front combined then yeah, but if its individual, then no good.

[karn]

:( is there any other wheels like these maybe enkeis that are 18x8.5 or 18.8 which has lip outwards and rim inwards kinda like your ivory what r u using? but less spokes.

[Reelax]

is he camber corrected in the rear? if not, he is eating through tires every few months, dropped 2.2". also, he is rolling on 225/40r18 for a reason... clearance. you want to go w/ 235/40r18 and that's only 5mm per side bigger but your sidewall coming into contact w/ the fenders may become an issue, especiialy if you drop deep AND camber correct. it sounds like you want a bolt on fit w/ no other modifications... these will not be that, especially w/ deep drop and camber correction; you will almost definately have to roll/cut your rear fenders, and even more so w/ 235/40r18. again, offset will be crucial as well to the whole package "fitting" w/o touching the fender or the rear suspension.

[karn]

ugh man this is badd :( i dont want to mess around with camber and weight off the wheels is super heavy i heard 40-50lbs i was googling it. time to look for new wheels. im dropping with s-techs but i might do eibach since its less drop and i heard they are better comfort.

[DaveMitsubishi]

yeah i dunno about the galant fender but i had a 3g before with 235/45R17 on them haven't needed a fender roll but i'm not sure about the galants

[Reelax]

whats the normal weight of a wheel. per wheel without with tire.

my 19x8.5 wheels weigh around 23 pounds each (multi piece forged). quality wheels in this size will weigh around that neighborhood (1 piece forged monoblock will of course weigh less, cast wheels will weigh significantly more).

[IVORY_G]

:( is there any other wheels like these maybe enkeis that are 18x8.5 or 18.8 which has lip outwards and rim inwards kinda like your ivory what r u using? but less spokes.

There are scores of rims out there, you just have to search for them. Look around and you'll find what you're lookin for. Best bet is to stay within 8-8.5" width all the way around. And get all four tires the same size as well to enable tire rotation.

[Reelax]

yeah i dunno about the galant fender but i had a 3g before with 235/45R17 on them haven't needed a fender roll but i'm not sure about the galants

235/45 is fine for 17's but we're talking about 18's... to keep within correct overall tire diameter, for 18 you should run 225/40r18 (or 235/40r18 ).

[karn]

ugh nvm i m buyin qnz's wheels and he said get 235/35/19s

[9G]

problem solved.

[IVORY_G]

Thats funny cuz I was gonna suggest that, those are some nice wheels too. Yeah that tire size will be perfect for the G. Problem solved is right!
