18"x7.5 fit on lowered '99 GAGT??

Turismo · 03-09-2004, 04:46 PM

Installed Eibach Pro Kit and lowered car over an inch. Will a 18" x 7.5 rim fit without rubbing when turning. 18" x 7 are just too hard to find... Thanks for the help.

jordanGT · 03-09-2004, 04:50 PM

as long as your offset is correct they will. i have 8.5" wheels, and they barely run (only in the back) without a spacer.

Turismo · 03-09-2004, 04:52 PM

so for offset...would need something between +35mm to +45mm?

PACE · 03-09-2004, 05:35 PM

^ yep. I have 18x8 with 35mm offset. my tires= 235/40/18

Turismo · 03-09-2004, 05:38 PM

What kind of 18" rims do you guys run?

PACE · 03-10-2004, 05:18 AM

I have a set of Buddy Club PII Racing.

AMRAAM4 · 03-10-2004, 07:00 AM

OH NO!!

Not 18 x 7.5 !!!!

PACE · 03-10-2004, 07:05 AM

I was waiting for you to chime in !!!

I've got 19's with the Eibach kit and only rub when I am turning the wheel too sharp. Learning quick what "too sharp" is though!

SilverStreak · 03-10-2004, 05:06 PM

18X8's and no problems. Just gotta have the right offset

TheShizzy · 03-25-2004, 12:47 PM

i have a 2 in drop with my intrax springs, and the rims im planning on getting are 18x7.5 with a 43mm offset, will that work or not?

NO!!!

For fock sake people, this has been discussed many times in the last 2 years the site has been back up. Not to mention it was just answered earlier in the thread.

TheShizzy · 03-25-2004, 12:56 PM

soooooooooo what your saying is that its not going to work?

SC/TGrandAm · 03-25-2004, 12:58 PM

if i have intrax lowering springs can i fit 22 inch wires on my grand am? I just bought these wire wheels and i hope they will fit.

AMRAAM4 · 03-25-2004, 12:59 PM

+43 isn't going to look very hot, they are going to be slightly inside the wheelwell more thna stock are.

Dr_Kyle · 03-25-2004, 03:12 PM

^^Werd. That's tucked in pretty far, especially for a 7.5" width.

TheShizzy · 03-25-2004, 03:23 PM

actually, its 42mm....but yeah, it is, i saw a whole bunch of 7.5 wide with 40+ offset on discount tire's site for our cars. why would they have them listed if they are tucked so far in??

02eco · 03-25-2004, 04:44 PM

For what its worth, I'm going with 18x8 with a 40mm offset.

BadBlack00Ga · 03-26-2004, 12:20 AM

Will a 17x7 with a 40mm offset look alright?
And what would be a good size tire for those?

02eco · 03-26-2004, 07:15 AM

17x7 should be fine with that offset, just try to stay between 38mm & 42mm. Ideal tire size is 225/45/17, type of tire depends on what you want to do.
