So In the near future (basically when I can afford it) I am planning on changing my rims to something larger (probably 17") and black.

I like white cars with black rims, so I am definitely getting black. laugh.gif

My questions are:
1) Will the rims in the link below fit the prefacelift 6gen? (Will they rub or will they fit)
2) Will any major modifications have to take place to fit them?
3) Do you (as in you personally) like them?

The last bit is just for my interest BTW wink.gif

Any help on this topic would be appreciated, I am a noob when it come to anything wheel and tyre related and the last time I tried to learn it I got so frustrated that I had to lay on the floor and practice the Vulcan ritual of Kolinahr so I didn't murder people kindasad.gif

Thank in advanced smile.gif

They will fit. You will need no modification to your car. I am running 17x8s and they fit with plenty of extra room, no rubbing at all.

In my opinion they are very nice looking wheels and I think they would go great with your car, overall nice choice smile.gif personally I would try to go wider but thats all about your preference in driveability.

Thanks smile.gif

I was consulting with a local tyre shop and they said that I wasn't able to put 8" wide on the car as it would be 'too wide', in fact on the link posted at the bottom the first 'ryan' is my question >.< so I assume that 8" will in fact fit?

If that's the case, I may consider getting the 18x8 version of this wheel... Depends if they would fit or not...
If not, I'd just get the linked ones smile.gif
