16's or 17's

[Cabezcoco]

I am wondering if these wheels would fit my 92 240. I found some wheels that I like 16X7.5 +20 or 17X7.5 +40 4X114.3 bolt pattern. With the sixteens i would get 205/50 and with the seventeens 215/45. I want to keep the car's handeling nice. Would there be any camber problems because i would like the wheels to be straight. I need to go with the same wheels all around so i can rotate them. The car is completely stock. I am 17 and new to this game. Any feedback would be appreciated.

the 16x7.5 would be the better, and probably lighter wheel for you, especially if you're planning on running coilovers.

run a 225-50-16 on the 16x7.5" wheel, camber issues only arise when you modify the suspension the 17x7.5" will not fit correclty(if they fit at all)

yeah stock SE wheels (16x6.5") use 205/55 so you can definitely step up to 225/50 on a 16x7.5" rim.The +40 offset on the 17's is probably too big to work without spacers (The stock SE wheels are +40 offset).

Do you guys think with the 225/50 it will rub the wheel well in the the front when i cut the wheel all the way?

it shouldn't. Stock suspension right? If so I would imigine you should be fine. Don't quote me though

I doubt it.

Sounds good to me. I want to thank you all for your imput. You guys are great! Just one last thing. These are the wheels i wanted. http://www.alloy-wheels-and-ri...shtml I assumed the number in the parenthesis was the offset. I think i am mistaken because the chrome wheels would have a huge offset. Are those the offsets? Thanks again

Naw, those are the prices. $154 for 15x6.5, add $100 for chrome 15x6.5, add $20 for 16x6.5, etc.I looked at http://www.teamdynamics.com and the only 16" they list is 16x7 with +38 offset. YOu might have to call or email that company to see what offsets theyre selling.

[Cabezcoco]

I get back to you guys on the real offsets then.

[Cabezcoco]

16" x 7" have a +38 Still to high?

[Nismo_Freak]

It'll fit fine, but won't look too flush if you're wanting flushness.

thats one problem when i was looking for 16" was there was no good 16" rims with descent offset. 16x8 and +40 or +38 offset

[BuudWeizErr]

+38 offset on a 7.5" wheel. gross. maybe with a 20mm spacer.

in after the lameo wannabe drifters grace this thread with their titanic style wheel propaghanda.
