Ok so last year I got some 16" black steelies For my Type S there was not an issue.

This year I changed my Breaks there was not an Issue

Now my wheels dont fit. The Issue is they dont stick out far enough from the hub to clear the caliper

My question is what spec tells me if they are goin to fit . The off set??

And do 17" RX8 rims fit???

 

cant u just add a wheel spacer and save some cash?

 

X2 I would do the same.

 

I figured that response was coming lol

but you cant put spacers on steel wheels I did some research on it and thats what I figured out but I already thought of that anyways I found 17" rims and blizzak winter tires @ 9/32 for 350

 

KIJIJI all the way i bet ?

 

rx8 wheels are rear wheel drive offset but might work.....

 

^^Actually they're not. 18x8 +50 or +48 I believe.

 

so rx8 wheels are same offset front and rear?....GAY..... i would never own a Doritos on a stick motor
just saying

 

LMAO, Usedottawa

Should I be looking at the offset They told me it was + 45, I was curious to see what fit so I tried my brothers 99 maxima 16s on and they didnt fit

Is the offset on steelies +/-0 ??

 

not all RWD cars come with staggered offset from the factory. My Mercedes didn't and neither did my bro's Bimmer. We both had to get upgrades to get the staggered wheels.

It should be close to stock. The steelies that I bought from the Tire Rack had +55 offset.

 

The offset doesnt always have to do with the backspacing.

What you need to measure is backspacing.

Some wheels have enough clearance in the spokes whereas others dont. You need to do some measuring.

Or get the spacers.

 

OK I got the rims and they do fit thank god ended up payin 250 for 4 17"alloys and 4 blizzak tires at about 60% left

I got a new question, they Look like sh!# From the salt, There staring to Oxidies so I going to sand them down and paint them black im thinking flat black but not sure. I have done this once before but I forgot how i did it any suggestions. There 5 or six spoke one piece rims BTW

 

I would first try to get a cleaner like "Blue Magic metal polish cream" That stuff works I left my chrome 19"s on my old car on 1 winter and come spring time they looked horrible and i thought i was going to have to throw them away but the blue magic made them look brand new and i'm uptight about stuff like that. So try the blue magic or some kind of oxidation cleaner or fall out cleaner. If it doesnt work then sand and paint them. If you want them to look really nice i would get them sprayed professionally that way you know it was done right and the paints not gonna peal if there just garbage winter wheels i would paint them myself.

 

nice to hear they FIT, this is what I got for 500.. this is my bad set

Dunlop graspic Ds-2 at 80% left (at least)
