Confused about wheels

[deric]

I am putting winter tires on my 2001 galant- stock suspension.
Tires are 205/65/15

I know those are wide, but I can get a good deal on them.


Does anyone know if either of these wheel choices will fit a stock 2001 galant with the above tires? I understand the offset is pretty bad, but these are my two choices right now. I am worried about the wide tires and the offset rubbing on the fender... but since they are only 15" am I safe?

Size: 15'' x 7''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2''
Offset: 13mm
Rear Spacing: 4-1/2''

Size: 15'' x 6''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2''
Offset: 0mm
Rear Spacing: 3-1/2''

thanks for any help!

You need a 15×7 for 205s the sidewall will bulge a lil but nicely so I had GoodYear Assurance in this size wrapped around American Racing Estrellas on my 7G

I don't know what the offset was

Really? My 6.5" wheels came with 215's on them. Oh well.

I am just wondering if the wheel/tire combo listed above will rub the fender or suspension at all.

It shouldn't

Fyi 205s are a hair over 8 inches wide at the tread a lil under at the bead

Neither wheel is a good choice.

You need a higher offset wheel (factory offset is +46mm) you need to be closer to that, especially with a wider and taller tire, even if it is a small difference.

Why are those your only choices right now? You realize you have access to the internet, and the vast selection from websites like www.tirerack.com and www.discounttiredirect.com and www.craigslist.com and many many others...

But if they dont rub and they dont stick out past the fender, what makes them bad?
Im just looking for cheap steel wheels to use in the Minnesota winters. It was either buy the stock steelies or these other wheels, which are cheaper.

The 13 and 0 offset wheels will stick past the fenders.

Ok thanks, thats all I needed to know for sure. i have never seen them on a galant of this body style.

Thanks!
