Free Turbo! (Nah just kidding hehe)

[Strahan]

OK, now that I have your attention hehehe. I wanna order my wheels shortly but I've yet to get an answer to my fitment question so I figured I'd repost it. Anyone with 19s or wheel fitment knowledge please lemme know if these will fit, thanks:

Yo. Looking at getting wheels. I like the RO_JA Formula 5 gunmetal. I'd like to get the 19x8s, but unsure about fitment. The webpage lists the sizes as 19x8; offets 5x100, 5x4.5 or 5x120. Offsets +37 or +45. The page is at http://www.rojawheels.com/wheels/formula5.asp. Any thoughts on fitment?

I'm crying foul on this post. I came looking for free turbo and got suckered into a rims thread!

I think it wont fit, from my knowledge our 8G Bolt pattern is 5x113/114 either one.

You bastard! Where is my turbo!

Anyway, do you realize how much those rims will cost?! I wanted them or the Formula 7's so bad in 18", but they were going to be almost $400 a rim, so I can only imagine what they cost in 19".

As far as fitment goes, 5x4.5" is the same thing as 5x114.3mm which is the bolt pattern on our 8G's. The stock offset is +46, so +45 will be a great fit. Although, with 19" rims that are 8" wide, you are more than likely going to rub the fenders, unless you aren't dropped or only dropped an inch. But hey, if you can afford those rims, you shouldn't have any problems getting a shop to roll your fenders.

I'm going to be really jealous if you get these rims. :x

i've answered this plenty of times.

19x8 w/ 225/35zr19 +45 will fit fine. you may have to have ur rear fenders rolled, but you will have clearnce to drop almost 3" and still have good suspension travel. the ADR M-Classic 19's that another member is rolling are 19x8.5 +38 offset w/ the same size tires and she is dropped on ground controls. go ahead and get the ROJA's.

btw danj, u should see the rims i want (it's a surprise) but they will run almost $1200.00 per wheel (custom fitament).

Yea, I'm a bitch Sorry guys hehe, just was impatient and burning to place my order and wasn't able to get an answer previously. Didn't want to blow the bucks w/o knowing for sure. I feel like splurging; I got the raise I've been waiting for at work and my girl is having a good week at work too heh.

Thanks alot, I'm getting the Formula 5 gunmetal with Yokohama Parada Spec-2 tires. I'll post pics once they're on. Thanks again guys

PS.. since I was a bastard and offered a free turbo, I'll be true to my word and mail anyone who replied a free turbo (that is, some rubber hose and a battery operated fan)

Make sure the hose is three inches so it fits on my TB and the fan better include batteries, you teaser. Just bring the parts with you to the next Mid Atlantic meet.

Nah, changed my mind. Decided not to include my car in the budget trimming plan, hehe. Also my resale value is shot to hell cuz I'm up to 83k miles on a 99. I figure I'd rather just cut my excess bills and concentrate on paying the car off pronto. They're gonna be suprised when they get the next payment, instead of sending $434 I'm sending $2000 I figure at that rate it'll be clear by April 2003 just in time for summer, hehe.
