Wheels, what do you have and what fits?

[gala(nt)ctic]

Tell me (and show me) what wheels you got on your 8G...

And then, whats the biggest wheels you can fit (without rubbing) on a standard 8G. (7.5*18" to big?)

And the bolpattern.. Is it 4*114.3? (as the older G's i think)..

well, one member on here has 20 inch rims without any fender rolling/tucking. and no camber kit either. do a search for 20 in rims.

here are mine without a drop



they are 225/35/19. you could fit a tire up to 8.5in wide as long as the offset is VERY close to the stock wheels offset. I forget what my offset is, but mine come out anout 1/8in to 1/4in. not too bad. the only problem is that I cant lower it ALOT, which is ok with me because I dont like the "slammed" look. All I want to do is fill the wheel gap.


Hope this helps a little.

I just found an old post on mine and they are 35mm+ offset

[gala(nt)ctic]

Knight,
I like those wheels. I had a set on my car for about a day but then I couldn't tuck tire so I had to switch to the 19x8 instead.

Atleast hes lowered. jk

Yo knight, I think the color of your g is sick. Especially the way it blends in with the mirror tint. I would suggest against getting that paint job.

ok... here's the rundown...

bolt PCD = 5x114.3

stock offset = +46mm

so stay as close to the following to allow tuck and up to +3" drop all the way around w/ no rubbing, and also to stay within 1% of overall rolling circumference of stock (so your speedo stays accurate)...

17x7.5 +45 225/45zr17
18x7.5 +45 225/40zr18
19x7.5 +45 225/35zr19
not sure on 20's as i don't know if they make a 225/30zr20 yet.

keep in mind if you widen the wheel, you want a slightly higher offest (to pull the rim back under the fender). conversely if you go w/ a narrower rim, you want a lower offset (to push the rim out). you should never, however, go over 8.5" or under 7.0" and your offset should stay between 38mm and 50mm.

btw, i have 18x7.5 +45 225/40zr18 konig monsoons drop 2.5" (H&R cut 1 coil at all corners) w/ no rubbing. i'd post a pic but my hosting is down at the moment.

Thanks Reelax! That is very appreciated!

I think this should be "sticked" at the top in a "useful knowledge about wheels for the galant"-thread..

wait i just noticed you have a "world spec" galant... the PCD is different for JDM and "world spec" galants! you guys have 4 LUGS i believe, where as US spec guys have 5.

[gala(nt)ctic]

yeah.... why didn't I react on that.. ?

well.. maybe cause it's 4*114.3



still.. I think you should make a thread and make someone stick it at top with this kind of info and recomendations..
