Would 235 hug more of the rims? The outer rim sticking out look is not what I'm looking for... is there a tire size that would hug the outer rim?
if you don't pick them up I will.
yes it will cover more wheel, for reference, here is a set of 245/40s on an 18x8.5 wheel
Those are NittoNT-05s, which run wider than most all season tires that the majority of galant owners use but narrower than other performance tires like Dunlop * specs, I'd stick with 225s or 235s for your application, ideally 225s.

Those are nice and meaty :)
just remember that my wheels are a +30 offset, you wheels will be 13-15mm more sunk in

Is this with a spacer? If so what size?Originally Posted by greddy
Would i have to adjust my camber?. I don't remember doing that running 225/40/18x7.5
18.5" is 1/2" wider on both sides than 7.5" so for a given offset, you would have 1/2" less clearance on the inside and outside. correcting camber (going less negative) pushes the top of the wheel away from the suspension and inner well.
Your refinishing cost will be at least $400. I wouldn't pay over $400 for those wheels. Those wheels were barely overly $1000 new.
Huh? I rarely see people pay more than 300 for refinishes, and those wheels were likely at least 1500 new.
It looks like a crack in pic 2.
Its going to cost atleast another $600-800 to refinish them to look like new. (NY prices)

You guys are getting ripped off in NYC then. Its 50 bucks a wheel here

Different areas bring different prices. Having seen the quality of cheap refinishing jobs, anytime I see less than $100 per wheel, I cringe. Even then, with the Gram Lights they have a special finish, and like qnz said to get like new, $600 is pretty likely.
Hmm. I've seen some amazing jobs done in Chicago, for 300.
My Enkeis were done for that, in Chicago.
I would say this, the wheels look structurally fine from the pics. They are beat to shit finish wise which is why I would strip them and have them powdercoated the color of your choice. Now if they are structurally damaged than I'd do some massive lowballing. Those would look good in bronze.... hmmmm

So with all that curbage on the lips it can be made good again? I have a set of wheels with some lip damage and I thought that was no good but you guys are making me think I can have them redone and be good as new.
i would show the pics to wheel repair shop and find out how much it would cost.
wow.. i got the deal for 500... But when i got there, i got a text saying "NVM i have another guy paying $600 plus replacement rims"... I drove 30 minutes to pick them up only to find out i got out bidded?!.... i faced the kid and he says he was sorry....I took a look at the rims and the car... The car did look like it was in a recent accident... The kid wanted to sell the car.. or what's left of the parts... One rim did have a crack/bent, the rest were road rashed liked the pictures show...He says he picked them up from a friend who bought them in Japan... They do look rare to find...
They're not all that rare.
They were sold on TireRack.com for years, as blue said, not all that rare. I'd say they are rather common, TireRack is a big outfit.
