Only difference between a Evo and a GTA is the auto trans, a GTA badge on the bootlid and a plain (non vented) bonnet

 

[Buckas]

ahhh righto, thanks man

 

[bradc]

Yep, those are standard EVO 7 wheels, 17x8" 38mm 10.1kg

 

[Buckas]

i hate to be a pain but does anyone have a pic of

17x7.5 with either +32 +35 or +38 on their car, with 215 or 225 tyres

but id like to know how close to the guard it will sit, they are 17x7.5 but im unsure of the offset til i email tempe, cheers guys

 

[steveP]

lol tempe wouldnt have a clue about offset either.

Step 1: close tempe site and null any such memory from ur mind.
Step 2: check out the wheel/offset threads on here.
Step 3: get the correct sized wheel and tyre combo for ur application.
Step 4: ???
Step 5 profit!

 

[unclepaulie]

see my sig

\/\/\/\/\/ , if those fox rims came in 8.5 or 9 then id say yes to them but 7.5 is just bad news

 

[Guest]

This is the offset thread isn't it? I've read which offsets fit, personally I don't want to go huge, that's why 17x7.5 was ok, I'm never goin to track the car or race it, I just wanted something that looks good, black with red lip is wat I've wanted for ages, plus I don't want to be payin out the ass for tyres each time. So if Tempe is outta the question do u guys hav recommendations for a decent place or style of wheel with the right offset that won't cost me more than $1500

 

[steveP]

u can pick up some decent jap rims 2nd hand for under $1500 easy. going wide doesnt mean ur gona race ur car. and ur car certainly WONT look good with pizza cutter spec rims. not to mention the inferior build quality.

u should be looking for something at least 8.5" wide all round. sus out forums, jap auctions, etc for rims. no question i would get correct fitting second hand rims over new china junk cheapies.

 

[Buckas]

you can get pllenty for that price, easilly a set of evo wheels and tyres.

The set of weds sports i was looking at on the previous page were 1200 so theres lots of better options out there, just gotta look. Heaps on evooz

 

[Guest]

So just for grip and width 8.5 should do the trick, I'm lookin for wheel and tyre priced together. Sum Evo wheels are cool, so far Evo x wins for me.

Garth, why not just get your Leggy first THEN asses the wheel sitch? You might find a unit with killer rims already attached.

You may also have an idea of what rims you want but that may change when you get your car e.g Colour may not suit etc.

 

[Guest]

yeh I kno, I always get ahead of myself. Just lookin and havin ideas. If all goes well I really want a white one. Dark grey or black wheels is my fav, neways I guess I'll leave it til I find out, in the meantime if anything comes up in the way of wheels keep me posted

If you are getting a prefacelift without flares then 17x7.5" around 38mm will be ok. With flares you would really want low 30's

im currently waiting on the buyer to be approved, something happened with his current bank and now he is tryin with someone else, so im not even sure if gettin a legnum is possible til the money is in my hand, mind u the bank manager of the old bank told him to organise the sale with me so it was ready, all that needed to be dun was signing the paperwork, wen he went to do that, thats were the bank manager became a tool and said nup, not til u pay out ur old loan, anyone want a VT commo with 18's and chrome mirror tint lol coz thats what his old loan is for. neways i guess ill leave it for now, but thanks for the input so far.

 

[steveP]

^^^ oh those types of rims.. yeah totally!

 

[ygoslo]

You'd get a set of D1Rs for that money. Black with red stripe. And in sizes for real cars, not the front of dragsters.

 

[steveP]

maybe he has some pizza's to slice??
