Getting new wheels what do ya think?

[Mr_Krispy1183]

yeah im actually debating if i really want to run a sort of staggered fitment.

i might just stick with 17x8 all the way around.

Brian, whats the offset on your wheels?

Nando, mine are 18x8 +37 at all 4 corners. Rather than stagger the offsets, I just run different size spacers front and rear to try and fill up the fender wells (also, so that I can rotate tires). I have 5mm spacers up front, and 15s out back (since the front track is naturally wider than the rear on our cars), giving me an effective offset of +32 up front, +22 in rear (with some negative camber and toe-in in rear to not rub as much)

i like the way they look....

Hopefully youre getting them strictly for looks and not performance cause they look pretty heavy

Love the wheels!! do it up!

They would look pretty sweet on your ride. If you're on a budget, do it, but if you have dough to spend, go for the real deal gram lights.

thanks man!

when i saw them i really liked the look
i havent seen anyone on this forum with
wheels with this sort of style.

i was either going to go for something like this
or go with something with a fat lip in the rear.

Those rims aren't too bad man.
I've been eyein' some XXR rims, for awhile.

Yeah its definitely a different look for what people do on this forum, my friend with the 2006 corolla S is looking to put down some money on wheels simliar in design no totally but they share some aspects the Zinik z27

well i really dont want to go with negative camber or anything like that i want to just keep the wheels straight.

but im just going to go with 17x8 all the way around but what offset would be good for some flushness.

[cdeez]

just do it kid......
they look dope..
i want to throw the 19s version on the g...

[Mr_Chunkz]

imo i think you should go 18 instead of 17 though

that sort of wheel would probably look better in a bigger size, since youre after lip, which your current wheels really don't have much of.

Wheels with small/no lip thickness look bigger than wheels with lip thickness.

[indiglosolara]

17x8 try to find a low offset..

You ca run 8" up front with +30 offset without issues. Plus your not running that low so you should be fine.

why not run 17x8 and 17x9??
If you can get 9" in the back with around a +20 to +25 offset you can fit them with a small tire ratio like 225/45 out back.

what else out thinking of adding to the car? aside from the wheels? rolling the fender? body kit? spill the beans!!! lol
