First, wheels. I've been looking around for wheels, and I just can't decide on anything! I'm too picky I guess. I've looked up a lot, but certaintly not everything, and I couldn't really find anything, so perhaps you could all help me pick something out? what I'm looking for. well, 5x100 bolt pattern (duh), 17x8, 35 offset, bronze or gold, 5-spoke, 6-spoke, 7-spoke, or 10 spoke, while still being affordable. (within $400-800). I'm considering the 5Zigen FN01R-C's, but they are pretty pricy. is there anything else out there matching all this? those were the only things I could find to match all the categories.
and now tires. The reason I want the 17x8's with the 35 offset is because there is someone on this site running that size and offset with 235/40 tires. says he has no rubbing problems. I want to try and fit 245/40 tires, and I wanted to know if anybody thinks this is possible? I'm sure they'll fit in the rear, we've got a lot of room back there. but the fronts I'm worried about. I can deal with a little bit of rubbing on the plasic in full lock turning, I just want to make sure my fender won't cut into the tires or have it rub on the frame behind the plastic. I saw in an old thread that somebody is running 245/35/18's on this site, but I don't think he comes on here anymore. anyway, it's only 10mm more than a 235, but it's a much more common tire size and thus is cheaper, plus I want all the traction I can get! the 5sfte likes to make 'em spin! -------------------- ![]() 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
