Hey all,
Have a quick question. I have a set of wheels I am interested in purchasing and just wondered if they would fit. They are a 19 x 7.5 inch wheel in a +42 offset. Can I fit them? thanks matt |

Sounds a bit to big to me. If you dont have it lowered you might not have problems but there is always the case of the wheels rubbing against the body of the car (bad news). I would stick with some 17"ers. Works for just about everyone. I think that 19 is pushin it. I'd say just go with 17's but thats just me.

hi there,
I agree with you in that a big, heavy wheel will slow down an already underpowered. I am only using the car to show however, and I guess I am going for the "bling bling" factor. I have had 2 different sets of 18s on my old 94 st(under member gallery, listed under matt m), and had no problem fitting an 18 x 7.5 with a 215/35 and ground controls but I cant for the life of me remember what offset the wheels were. thanks for the help though, matt |

I can't say for sure, but I think they would fit. You could figure it out by taking some measurements off the wheels you have and doing some math.

Hows it goin man,
Yeah, I sold the probe about 8 months ago. I have a 2003 cavalier 4-door that I drive to work(bought it from my grandfathers estate when he passed away. I also have a 2002 dodge dakota to haul stuff with. Between payments and insurance on both of those and a $1000/month rent payment I havent had too much extra money, lol. I just bought a 94 gt with a blown engine. Got a good deal on it($200, lol). Only problem is its an automatic. I wanna do the 3s swap but $$$ is my main concern now. You still have a probe? Id love to find another. matt |
