Mariah mode1 wheel width?
 
For you guy's that have a widebody from mariah, how wide are your front wheels. I called mariah, and they told me 17X8 +16mm offset. I don't want to doubt the company that actually maes the kit, but i was just wondering if anyone has tried anything wider with success.


I'm getting ready to order my wheels from John at www.ccwheel.com and he says 8 seems kind of small for a widebody.

He got me thinking:confused:

I do plan on measuring myself tomorrow, but till then what are you using?

Thanks

Luis

You're going to hate trying to turn huge rims. Personally I think 8" is more than wide enough. The flairs are very small, I seriously doubt you can or would want wider rims in the front.

8 inch wide in the front seams correct. do you have coil overs installed?

I would have sworn they fit 9" ones...

I read 16x8.5 in the front, and 16x9.5 in the rear on the website.

This is a valid question.
Would the Offset of a GSL-SE be a factor?
It is different than the 12A powered cars.

I am curious as well.

Not yet.

I measured today and 8" seems to be correct. I just thought It might look weird 8's in the front ann 12"s in the rear.

Here is a sample, but mine should have a 6"Lip:D
