I can buy the most rawest caliber rims right now for 2G w/tires...Only problem is that they are 18X8.5 w/a +45 offset...I got this fool swearing up and down that he knows his stuff and that I can run this rim with a 225/40 no scrubs...Someone please help...These are type C2's carbon fiber center cap 3 piece...Shyne

Those numbers seem kinda close. You might be able to pull it off. If the rims already have the tires on them, mount them and ride them for a lil bit and see what happens.

oh and that dynamic dimple composite lip you are looking at...no one, i mean no one has these rims brand new never been mounted...Shyne

You can do better than those rims man. I dont like them. Wheres the BLING?

Shyne

the bling is in the rarity of these rims...i swear these are phatter than any C2's...The rim's lip is ddc so that means its hard as hell virtually impossible to dent...i dont know, but that would look sweet on a TL and no one has these rims...Shyne

imo, i think the offset is too low for that width. i think most agree that 18x7.5s with a 50 offset is perfect. so using this setup, i calculated that you will need a 57ish offset for 8.5" wide rims to have the same amount of fender lip clearance as the 7.5s. this is purely mathematical so i can't say for sure regarding real world specs (but these types of wheels do exist!).

btw, are you buying from someone in socal? just curious...

Shyne

nope these are in texas, and the dude in socal that has them is the one swearing up and down that it will fit cuz he ran it on his accord...right now he has them sitting on a prelude, cuz they fit 4 and 5 lug...anyways, i dont think they will clear either...im looking for some tight ass rims, and im having the hardest time...i screwed up once and cant do it again...Shyne
