I want to change to 18" wheels

saw a package deal for akuma 18x7.5 with performance tires

is it a good deal?

anyone knows if it will fit FTO? I saw somewhere on this website that 18X8 fits, so not sure about this one

thanks

you'll need to provide the off sets. Also is your car lowered?

i think... and dont quote me on this... you'll need +45 offset.... or spacers, which r illegal

use this:

to work out what off set you'll need

the wonders of google lol

I hate to be an ass, but please use the search function... this topic has been covered more times than Anna Nicole's fun patch.

i'm a smart ass...

...and i wont get yang back for this because i'm a nice person[/size]

lol, obviously i knew that was there, i did link to it first after all

no i mean maybe in the FTO Help or Tech section, cos a lot of ppl dont bother looking at anywhere else on the site that's not the forum.
and also with more on offsets and maybe something that suggests using a wheel size calculator and offset calculator etc...

well, just to clarify, I have searched and seen most of the links provided above before starting this thread. I guess for a newbie like me, a lot of the terms doesnt make a lot of sense quickly.

more information on offset would be really useful.

devil2004 was helpful (thanks) but when asked about offset... i was stumped.

I have heard of this thing called Google and aparently its on the Internet now. Its really good.

Type "Wheel Offset" and :

Its a crazy idea, but yeah I found it works

www.wikipedia.org

cut loose.

lol, did you read the link i posted??
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/tec ... techid=101

and sam and kj do have a good point though, just try typing in "what is *insert word that u dont know*" into google and ask u shell recieve... or something like that lol
but... i do see where eyes is coming from, i dont know about u guys but when i first started on here (we all remember how stupid i was/am right? lol), kept asking stupid things, searching for things is just not the same as hearing it from the horse's mouth (u bunch of ugly horses lol).
and eyes, in future if you have any questions very closely related to an existing topic, just ask the question there first, cos when there's a new post it bumps it up to the top and there are lots of us who have no life and will check every new post

Ben, see? i'm obviously the perfect mod canidate, give me the position already >.< i want in so i can change everyone of jonowong's gtfo posts lol
