What's our stock offset? And the 2.2/2.3CL bolt pattern is 4x100, right?

I was thinkin of getting these rims after the winter's over. 5Zigen Inperio's.



Thanks to James for letting me "borrow" your car.

 

oh good thing u asked before u bought the rims. The bolt pattern is 4x114. The big 4 lug pattern. you should ask the sales person where you are getting the rims from and they should be able to help you. Factory rims have a higher offset usually like 48-55. Usually when u buy after makrket wheels you can get the offset from 42-48 i think. It makes the wheel stick out more so u wont rub the inside. You might have to check with a local wheels shop for the specs and what will fit on your car the way you want it to. Also it depends on the diameter wheels you plan on getting. 17..18..19 all have different recomendations as far as offsets.

By the way..those wheels look nice..what color you gonna get?

 

Hey, thanks for the info. The reason why aftermarket rims have a lower offset is because they're usually 7" and up wide while the factory rims are 6" wide. As you increase rim width, you need to reduce the offset in order the get the wheel properly spaced.

I was thinking of getting the Inperios in hyper black, but apparently that's only available in an 18" size. My wife wants the white ones & I like the silver ones... what do you guys think?

Oh, and does anybody know how heavy these rims are?

 

Found out that they're 19 lbs in 17x7.

 

hyper black is nice but only in 18. Silver is always nice and white wheels will look good on white cars in my opinion. There are a lot of people with white wheels here in houston so i think its getting played out. But its ur car so do what u want. And plus i dont know the color of ur car. That matters a lot also

 

The car is the '97 dark green, whatever that's called.

 

since ur car is dark green i would go for silver or hyper black if u get 18s. I think white wouldnt look all that great on a dark car. Its too contrasting. But thats my opinion. But i say save up and get the hyper black 18s!!! then ull be stuntin'!!!!!

 

Talked to a salesman at the Tire Rack today. He said the stock offset is "about 50." It would've been nicer to get a definite answer, but that'll have to do for now.

 

Bolt pattern is 4 x 114.3

 

Yeah, Hyper black or gunmetal colored rims would look tight on your dark green CL....Dustbuster have you thought about rims now that you've got your drop taken care of?

 

Yeah, that's next. I've been pricing them (18's), and I need to figure out how I'll afford them.

I'm officially unemployed as of Saturday!

 

i just priced everything for rims,

should be getting 18's
