anybody run this size on the galant? got pics?
im about to buy these... well not exactly these because they are 4 lug. im thinking about running my current tire which are 225 45 17 which will probably stretch them a little bit on the 8.25 wheel

215's on the left and 245's on the right

Those would look good on a G
8.25"?
those are xxr 526 wheels they make them in that odd size... assuming for more of the stretch look
yah Reelax i thought that was odd too first company i've seen that made a 8.25 wide wheel
looked them up last night... they are 527 not 526; 526 are mesh w/ lip.Quote:

Underated, I have 18x8.5 +25 on my car with 235's. In the back, If I didnt roll/fold up the lip in the rear wheel well, it would rub like nuts. I have about -2 or -3 degrees camber, I didnt want to go any more negative than that. I am running the JDM flares which helps keep them "in"
yeah you need to roll the fenders, and i would look into getting the jdm flares like stewi has unless you like the look of them sticking out a little.
i was planning on getting the same ones but in black, guess someone is beating me to them lol
I"m on 17x9 +27 with a 255, those should fit no problem @ all with a roll
based on my calculations, they will stick out about 1" farther than my 17x8 +45, which are just barely poking in the front.Quote:

he said those are just sample photos because those are 4 lugs.Quote:

oh ok i guess i just got distracted by the rims lol.Those are going to look nice.Quote:

oh wow great feedback... im running 17x7 +38 225/45r17 now with 10mm spacers to fit the rotora calipers up front and the fronts stick out a hair even with -2* camber... the rears are perfectly flush with the 10mm spacers. im thinking about pulling the fenders out a little bit instead of getting the flares because the backs are already rolled as far as they can go. i dont have a body kit or anything and the car sits really low on the d2's. i guess like Reelax said i'll just have to trow them on and see.
its either going to be those or the xxr 521's the only problem is the shop that has them is in LA and im in vegas 4hrs away. i guess i'll be doing this all right before MOD.
i like the other ones better then the xxr 521's but it is up to youQuote:

btw, here is the difference between your current 17x7 +38 w/ 10mm spacers, and the new 17x8.25 +25 with no spacers

Key:
Black = 17x7 +38, 10mm spacer
Blue = 17x8.25 +25, no spacer
oh shit that pretty sweet so if there were +30 it would bring them in a little more right?
yeah, +30 would bring it in just a tad bit more. It doesn't look like it will hit the strut either because it's still farther "out" than my 17x8 +45
With coilovers you can run a maximum backspacing of 6.5" (comfortably 6.25"). This is also including that I have 2.5 degrees negative camber in the rear, negative 1.5 degrees camber in front. So, using the information I've managed from fitting as wide as a 19x10 +25mm we have this. Mind you, if you are camber corrected you could run slightly higher offsets (like Reelax's 19x8.5 +48).
7" wheel can have a maximum offset of +63
7.5" wheel can have a maximum offset of +57
8" wheel can have a maximum offset of +50
8.25" wheel can have a maximum offset of +47
8.5" wheel can have a maximum offset of +44
9" wheel can have a maximum offset of +38
9.5" wheel can have a maximum offset of +31
10" wheel can have a maximum offset of +25
Mind you this is rounding down from the fractional millimeters. Wheel companies don't really use fractional millimeters when setting offsets.
Here is 20x9.5 +37mm:

Here is a 19x10 +25 wrapped in a 235/35R19:

So, with similar camber, you could comfortably run this:
19x9 +35mm
19x9.5 +30mm
So, if anything, you will be nicely flush, no poke, and with 205/50R17s, it won't look odd at all, and really, would look nicely aggressive.
^^ great post
I think it should be posted in the wheel/tire sizing thread!
yah great post
ok i have some corrections the wheels i have now are 17x7 +40
on full lock while making a left my tires rub on the inner wheel well, putting in the sizes in the Wheel Offset Calculator it says i'll have 5mm more clearance from the strut housing but the outer edge of the wheel will be 25mm. so im looking forward to seeing what these look like with my aggressive drop.
so you suggest 205/50R17s
XXR = Blue8g sad
lol whats your story with them?
I don't have a story with them personally, but I've seen a lot of horror stories with bent/cracked wheels.
Wheel width, offset, and tire width all will factor in to full lock rubbage or not. Using 205s should mainly allow for additional rear fender clearance in an already tight situation. But if the fenders are rolled, or cut out, you really shouldn't have much issue, even if you wanted to run 225s. Put it this way, you 'should' be able to run a 235 width tire, on a 9.5" wheel, with a +30-35mm offset, with fully rolled fenders, without rubbing, inside, or outside.Quote:

2.5" lowered all corners
1.5 degrees camber front
2.5 degrees camber rear
25" ride height (on 19s)
24.5" ride height (stock 16s, which are .5" shorter than my 19s)
Not sure if you are riding lower than that, or what your camber specs currently are. But if they are close to mine, and account for mild vehicle to vehicle differences, the expected setup should run with very minor, to zero clearance issues. As always, test fitting is recommended, and tweaking is a must.
ok now i have the option of +35 or +25 and i'll be running the 225/45/17 to start with. i really want that concave look but not at the sacrifice of suspension problems and rubbing.
anybody happen to know the distance from the hub to the fender on our cars?
I believe it is 8", but it has been a while since I measured it.Quote:
