I have an 82 gsl will 18" wheels fit ? if not what the biggest size that will fit?

 

no, probably not

good luck finding 18 inch wheels in 4x110 bolt pattern anyway

whats wrong with a nice set of 14" or 15" rims? they look plenty big on the car, and won't overstress the suspension

 

i know i would love to put 14" or 15 but im looking for a small size rim with a big lip ( i love rims with a big lip and thjink it would look awesome on my first gen) but its pretty hard to find. Any wheel suggestions pleaaaase!! thanks

 

I want to get panasports someday, but they're kind of hard to find and expensive. Good used wheels come up once in a while too. You can get kosei k-1's at tire rack, but they don't have any lip. Check ebay and the for sale section often

 

17's are the largest, i have tried. Rubs something horrible. run 16 at largest. i think i have 16x8 but havent paid attention.

 

ok i found wheels i like , 2 front are 15x7 and rear are 15x8 , and they are 4 lug. They will fit right ??

 

not all 4 lug are the same. Our 4 on 110mm bolt pattern is very rare. Most common is 4 on 4.5" (114.3mm)

Will these fit ?

 

no............they will come very close and make you mad lol i have seen some ppl notch the mustang rims a lil bit to get them to fit but i dont think its a good idea.......you can have them make you some rims for you car check bogart not very cheep tho

 

no

4x110mm bolt pattern only- pattern was only used by mazda

 

Yes 18's will fit BUT you will have to modify the front strut hat to make it work without rubbing. I saw a 1st Gen 7 last week with 18's on it at a car show and was very impressed that it worked. SORRY no pics , my camara broke last week before the show.

18s on a FB will look like 20s on an ATV, crazy big.

 

believe it or not I had to do a double take because they looked like 16's or 17's because of the lower sized sidewall of the tire. Overall diameter is the same just more rim and LESS tire....

I believe the tire size was 215-35-18

 

I don't like anything more than 16's on an FB personally, but eh, whatever tickles your pickle man.

 

oooOOoo, i kinda like those centerlines

you can use bolts with a "loose" head, to mount 4x108 wheels

i'd bang em

 

so then i WILL be able to make those centerlines fit...ok

 

I want either of these on my GSL-SE when/if I get it, I'm mostly diggin the RS Watanabe's though.

 

which ones are those in the first pic ??

 

The Longchamps look good on corollas but not so hot on our first gens. You can's go wrong with Watanabe's.

15" wheel with big lip looks much better than 18's. In fact, I don't think any of the "New School" rims look good on our cars.

 

thats what i also think our cars dont like good with the new style rims out these days , more of an old school look is what im shooting for...but thats exactly what i want 15 with a big lip just need help finding ....

 

So by doing this i can make these centerlines fit ?

 

i say 15s. i had 18s on my GSLSE for awhile.... one word "ewww"

 

heres an example
18s in front + 19s in rear = way too massive for a 1st gen!

 

^Agreed

 

Yes those 18's and 19's look bad , just not a look for the first gen.

I just wanna make sure now that it is POSSIBLE to have these rims fit my first gen
