I need some 17X8 30mm light weight (under 20lbs.)wheels for my turbo. This particular offset is not easy to find. Where are you guys finding wheels? I've found some BBS wheels that fit the bill but at $600 per wheel they are a little outside my budget. As always, any help is appreciated.

 

Mustang GT wheels fit the bill perfectly, they're 17x8, are between 17 and 20 pounds each (depending on who you ask, mine were around 20lbs each), and are a 30-32mm offset (again, depends on who you ask). They fit perfectly and are cheap and plentiful.

 

i wouldnt say they fit exactly perfectly. you might want to get longer wheel studs in the rear, the stock nuts don't engage the studs all the way. but other than that, they fit really well.

 

I have some Rota D2's i ordered in 17x7.5 +30 and 17x8.5 +35. I'm taking pics of htem on my GTUs today. That's an option. They are pretty inexpensive too and look like meister s1's or SSR SP1's.

Well, I ended up ordering some "Black" (brand not the color) 17x8 31mm with 225/45-17 falken RT 615's from edge racing. They wern't sure if they would fit without rubbing so I'm putting my confidence in the FC wheel fitment thread and hoping for the best. I'm kinda stoked about getting them as these tires won GRM's tire test for street tire stickiness. I sure hope the turbo corners fantastic or else I'm gonna be really disapointed.

 

Those should fit just fine, unless the 615's in that size are particularly large. I had some Falken 451's in that size on my GT wheels and they fit perfectly, and that's with an offet within 1mm.

I do have the ARP studs, so I can't really comment on the fittment other than word of mouth, but you could get away with stock ones on the street, it's just not a good idea and not 100% safe.

 

Yea, A set of studs are way cheaper than the work to clean up a wheel that runs away. If they don't look like they get enough engagement then I'll get a set. I'm sure tired (pun intended)of waiting for these tires to show up.

 

Did you ever post pics of these wheels on your car? I searched but couldn't find any pics.

 

Here you go:

I have two sets only in stock. I was planning on keeping one set for myself. But money is tight so whatevers.





Keep in mind my car isn't sitting level because i have the RB lowering uppermounts on my car which are going by by once I get coils.

They are 17x7.5 +30 and 17x8.5 +35. Perfect to clear coils and run a 225/45/17 up front.

This setup is with a 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 as that's all i had in stock in used tires to take pictures. If this were me i'd be raising the front of the car a tad, running the 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 for NA cars, or 255/40/17 for T2's.

You can purchase them here off our site to ensure you get the few sets we have left:

You'll see the FC fitment in the drop down menu. $623.00 plus tax and/or shipping. THAT'S OUR SPECIAL PRICE. THESE ARE NORMALLY GOING TO GO FOR $700.00 PLUS FEES. THESE ARE THE ONLY SETS MADE IN THIS FITMENT JUST FOR ME. I ORDERED 10 SETS AND MOSTLY WERE PURCHAED BY MR2 GUYS. I ONLY HAVE THESE LEFT BEFORE I MAKE A REORDER.

I will give you free mutekis if mentioned in the notes for purchasing. THey will be black if in stock. WE're running real low on these lugnuts.

Thanks, Rishie
