wheel question
 
OK heres the deal I recently bought a set of wheels (great deal) never been done B4. Problem they are only 18X7... Will they fit?

Should fit fine, as long as the bolt pattern is 5x115. The offset should be 40mm, as well.

then I guess you bought a set of GP GXP rims?

Right :D


why wouldt they fit. there just narrower.

Not saying what I bought... Just wondering if I could run the same 235/50/18's on them?

Gumball 08-26-2007 09:45 AM

you didnt say that :P you asked if the wheels will fit not the tires.

now. you have 18 x 8's so I dont really think they will fit.

NO i know I cant use the same tires that are on my wheels. But i am hoping I can get the sizes close.

looked at these wheels but there only 5x114.3 ( I know the will fit ) but im not interested in doing it.

And if I was going with the GP GXP wheels stock tire size on the rears is 225/50/18 so why wouldnt 235/50/18's fit...

I ran with a set of 18x9 rims on my GP, they had 245x40x18" tires.
They stuck out of the fender wells 1" more then design because they were Cobra wheels for a mustang.. yep 43mm offset.
5 years later I just switched back because that offset was contributing to my negitive camber problems. Its all good now.

Now days there are planty of whels to choose from, you should be able to get what you like in the proper pattern.

BTW, those look great.

I thought gp gxp's were 18x7's thats why I guessed them :D

My bad, Ive been wrong before. ;)

so anybody else want to take a crack at the answer :D
