do you think this wheel will work? no idea what tire size to run? suggestions?

18x7.5J, 100x5, 48 offset

this is on a 2007 Si coupe. thanks in advance.

That won't work. Bolt pattern should be 5x114.3

[FastTimesAtFGHigh]

^ whoops, i thought the bolt pattern was 100x5 on the Si?

how about this then?

18x7.5J
114.3x5
45 offset

i'm getting the measurements from here for the AVS model 5 rims.

I was thinking of doing 17" x 8.5" +45-50mm offset wheels & 245/40-17 tires on an Si sedan. Anyone know if this will rub inside the front wheel well during full lock u-turns or rub the rear or front fenders when I roll through a dip? I know there's some guy on this forum with a similar setup, but I haven't received feedback from him.

Also, is the hub center bore 61mm for the stock wheels? I haven't really been able to verify it. If someone can let me know, that would be great.

Thanks! ( ^o^)/

Anyone?

^ I'm looking at those. 17" x 8.5" +50mm offset.

I'm planning on using some 245/40-17 Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212 tires.

So yeah. Anyone got any input? Any rubbing at full lock u-turns or rubbing in the front / rear fenders when I roll over dips at stock height?

I'm planning to get this car to handle extremely well which, will involve the installation of some fully corner weighted coilovers later down the road, maybe dropping about an inch... I don't want to kill the tires & the fenders & the inside lining in the front wheel wells or the struts!

just put my new wheels on my si sedan, work xd9's 18x8 +35. I thought it would be too aggresive but fills up the fenders perfectly. btw im dropped on sportlines w/ 225/40/18

[FA5SI]

17x8 42 Offset w/ 235/40-17's works great with the Si Sedan!!!

Yup stock suspension! Just purchased Tein S-Techs, Ingalls Front Camber Kit, and Skunk2 Rear Camber. So will update on those shortly

[ryryninja]

Hey wheel gurus. I can get a nice steal on a set of rims. They are 18x7.5 +38. I'm dropped on skunk2 springs. Would I rub with 225/40/18? What tire size do you recommend? or should I go with a 35 profile?

[krazyguy187]

i have a question guys, i have 17x8 rims 35offset with 2 tires 235/45/17 and the other two 225/45/17. my first problem was trying to install them myself but it seems that there is a problem with the lugs that i bought in pepboys, they can fit halfway only, i coudnt tight it. and my 2nd problem is the rims look too wide, its like you can see the tire half inch outside the fender. im not sure, like what ive said i havent tried to install it cuz of the lugs. my car by the way is fg coupe and its lowered wid tein stech. hope you guys can help me.
