xtremerevolution Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 now you got me thinking... I was wanting 17 inch + for wheel size... but... Honestly, I would stick with 17's. Tires are cheaper, they're more comfortable, and IMO they look great. Take my Audi rims for example. Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Honestly, I would stick with 17's. Tires are cheaper, they're more comfortable, and IMO they look great. Take my Audi rims for example. 17s FTW, not too big, not too small... Quote
White93z34 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 honestly in my price checking for tires 17s and 18s are just about the same. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 honestly in my price checking for tires 17s and 18s are just about the same. The absolute cheapest tire I can find for my Bonneville (18x8 rims) is $114, if I buy 4. I can find plenty of tires for my Regal (235/45/17) for under $100 apiece, with quite a few selections under $90 apiece. Quote
jeremy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 honestly in my price checking for tires 17s and 18s are just about the same. go with 18s Quote
BXX Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 honestly in my price checking for tires 17s and 18s are just about the same. go with 18s Yeah, I have 17s, just not enough wheel for our big cars with big wheel wells.. Quote
AWeb80 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 anything over 17's affects the suspension tooooo much. I liked they way the 077's looked...but the car handled like crap....way to much weight on the outside diameter Quote
slick Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 That, and the tire gets to be too small to absorb some of the impact of the road. Sidewall is a good thing. Quote
mra32 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 look into starion wheels as seen here: http://images.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0612_sccp_03z+mitsubishi_starion+right_front_view.jpg the lug patteren is 5 x 114.3 they can be found in 16 x 7 with 18mm offset or a little bit more rare is 16 x 8 with 18mm offset. The hardest part would be finding 4 of the same wheels Quote
SrMichi Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 maybe you should try to fine Lumina wheels with the black inserts? Quote
Crazy K Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 option 2 or 3. put Chrysler part on and I will find you and I will kill you. Quote
sloick Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 option 2 or 3. put Chrysler part on and I will find you and I will kill you. lol Quote
mra32 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 actually those are mitsubishi parts...and everyone knows that jumping ship with other manufacturers parts is no big deal with me. oh well Quote
Andrew Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 how about the 18's on the HHR? not the twin 5 spokes but these. i saw em today and liked them. Quote
mra32 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 HHRs are 5 x 110 too bad. those are sweet. i dunno aobut on a z34 though Quote
Andrew Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 HHRs are 5 x 110 oh damn you are right. Quote
88Regal Limited Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 look into starion wheels as seen here: http://images.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0612_sccp_03z+mitsubishi_starion+right_front_view.jpg the lug patteren is 5 x 114.3 they can be found in 16 x 7 with 18mm offset or a little bit more rare is 16 x 8 with 18mm offset. The hardest part would be finding 4 of the same wheels YES. I love those cars and the wheels are sexy too! Magnum rims I'd HAVE to see first.... and the Impy/MCSS wheels DO look good if you can find them cheap. Whatever option you don't use I might steal Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Equinox's / torrent are 5 x 110, I've just been through all of this myself Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 That is a hot truck though, I would love to have a metallic black Torrent GXP Quote
xtremerevolution Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Equinox's / torrent are 5 x 110, I've just been through all of this myself And Audi A4 rims are 5x112, but that didn't stop me. If you get a great deal, you do have options. Quote
