will the wheels be sticking out farther with this offset?

 

god wheels are confusing as hell.
would these fit an 88 gxl?

SIZE: 18X7.5
OFFSET: 48
BOLTS: 5
BOLT PATTERN: 5/100 AND 5/114.3

 

hmmm i guess i should have posted this before i made a thread.... but i planning on buying some rims but not sure if it would fit my fc

heres the specs
front 17x7 +25 with tires 215/45
rear 17x8 +25 tires 235/45

would these fit?

 

depends what size tire you're running. something like 215's front, 235's rear, you should be able to mod the stock fenders to work. or smaller. any bigger than that will be tough.

no. offset should be ~+35 MAX. a little lower would be better.

should fit. might need a 'slight' roll of the fenders.

 

I appreciate it if someone can help me out.

Will these wheels fit the 90' Turbo II?

Size- Front 17x7.5+12
Rear 17x8.5+29

Bolt Pattern- 5x4.50 or 5x114.3

Thanks in advance!

 

No.

This will not fit up front.
They will hit the inside suspension on the fronts.

On the rears, no problem...


-Ted

 

No problem, but it might be a little tight up front - might need a little roll on the front fender lip.

Rears are no problem.


-Ted

 

Fronts will most likely need to roll front fender lip.

Rears are not a problem.


-Ted

 

Will 215/45/17 tires fit well with no rubbing problems?
Wheels are 17x7 +40

 

Should be fine...


-Ted

 

Is there any way 17x7 +42 would fit?
Could I fit 225/45/17 tires with that setup?
Would I need spacers?

 

Spacers would be required to fit up front.
Rears are not a problem.

this is a long shot but i have a good deal open on some nice wheels. any help is greatly appreciated.

these wheels are 18x9 and 18x11. its pretty damn big. but the offset for the front is +4 and the rear is +10. 275/40/18 in the rear and 255/40/18 in the front would it fit?
thanks

 

No, offsets are too low, they'll stick out of the fenders quite a bit.

 

yeah i thought thats what the problem would be. but i am getting my car repainted due to an accident and during the process i want to throw a kit. gp sports is nice but anyone know a nice wide body that could accommodate these wheels?
thanks

 

Changing the bumpers won't make them fit. You'd need a widebody. Widebodies are expensive to put on the car, just get some wheels that fit.

 

Minimum you'd need at least about 1.0" overfenders up front.
Rears about the same...


-Ted

 

Yeah, I agree. Especially if you want to run decent camber. I would say 30mm rears, 25mm fronts.

 

just stretch some 215's front and 235's rear and pull the stock fenders a little... err.. . a lot. and run a nice amount of camber.

 

235s on an 11, who are you, Hariguchi? Anyways, that's retarded. The guy obviously needs to out-grip an F1 car, so he already stated 255s up front, 285s out back. To do that, you needs the widebody.

 

I had asked a seperate thread a while back but so I can track it.

16x8 +15 on stock FC fenders (rolled front) and coilovers.

What tire size can I get away with to make these fit?? I am considering 205/55/16 Front and 225/50/16 Rear.

I have a feed front lip so I need some sidewall to allow for some ground clearance.

 

You're going to have to roll the front fenders no matter what.
If you're going to go with those wheels, you might as go with a 225 / 50 / 16 up front also.
You're going to have to "pull" the front fenders at least 0.5" for the 225 wide tire up front.
With the 205 / 55 / 16, rolling the lip might be all you need...but that tire size on a 8.0" wide wheel might look funny, i.e. hippari stretch...unless you're into that kinda thing?

Rears should not be a problem.


-Ted

 

I dont mind a stretched look, but not the bubbly looking stretch if you know what I mean. Like the lowriders and their 195/65/13 white walls. haha

Could I go wider in the rear? I love these wheels becuase they have a great lip, are cheap, and look very very nice, so I wanna make them work.

Also I have rolled and flared fenders, but pulling......do you simply just do that? Grab the fender and pull it outwards without incorporating that "jdm" flared look.

It would be nice to do a 225 all around...or if I could fit 245s in the rear I would be in love!

 

Pulling is best done with a fender roller tool and a heat gun. Heat the metal real good and keep working the tool back and forth. Keep tightening the tool every couple of passes (and reheat) and eventually you'll have a nice flared even fender.



Or you can literally pull on it. Believe it or not this works, but often times you'll warp **** and find out later that mounting brackets strangely don't line up anymore... that kinda stuff! If you are forced to go this route, use heat gun and some welding gloves and pull the metal while its hot!
