Another "Will these rims fit" thread...

Post by snicholmeister »

I bought a set of nice OZ rims from an importer, got them powder coated only to then discover that they are the incorrect stud pattern (listing was wrong). Basically the importer has offered a different set of rims for replacement and the only set I kinda like are the following specs: Front: 17x8 Inch +32 Offset, Rear: 17x9 Inch +38 Offset.

I mean they're staggered offsets and widths so obviously designed for a RWD car but as I said, they're the only ones I kinda like the look of.

My question is: will they fit?? Car is lowered etc.

when you say lowered it on coilovers?

If you have coilovers which do allow the full degree of changes then yes you can get them to fit. On the rears you will need rolled guards. with the fronts its a little tricky as you might need a lot of camber but its not somethings anyone here can say for sure.

Wheel fitment I think is a very tickey things and you're best bet is trial and error.

Will they allow ya to get two Front sets?

I think the fronts will fit for sure i have about 2cm from wheel to guard on the front of my car (17x8 +35) i only have about 1.5 degree of camber.
