Definitive answer on wheels....

[javy212]

I'm pretty competent when it comes to most things about my car and cars in general, but wheels are just not my thing. I wanna buy new ones and I don't know anything!!

If someone could post ALL the info I would need to buy a new set of mags that would be great... I'm talking 17x?? offset?? bolt pattern (5x???)... anything else....

My racing harts took a beating before I took them off an i would love to start the spring with something in good condition...

Also, if anyone can recommend nice wheels and/or somewhere to browse through some that won't cost me an arm and two legs that would rock!

Bolt Pattern is 5x114.3. Anything with around a 40 to 48 offset should work fine, think mine are 40. Stock rims are 17x7 w/ 205/45/17's. I would stay with that rim size, 17x7. You can go with a 205/45 or a 205/40. I wouldn't go any wider with the tire size cause you might rub in the back. I am not an expert, I am sure Rishie or someone can better explain.

Some good sites are:

Have to call for prices I think, but great selection and good service

Or you can contact me for special forum pricing. I have done all the studying and have been compiling a database of good fitting wheels.

Thanks, Rishie

I have 215/40/17s on my RACINGHARTs and they are great width, little bit widder but no rub. Looks great too.

Do you plan on lowering, directed towards the RH gentleman? Just be careful. You will rub at that time if it's a +40 or +42.

Good luck, Rishie
