ive got my tax refund and im planning on buyin the tl some new shoes

ASA 17's 215/50-17 with an offset of 48 mm

what do ya guys think about these?

02type-s

I like them, but not in 17s. Too small.

ftLauTL

ya think maybe 18's even with a drop will look good?


i'll probably have to roll the fenders regardless

02type-s

18s would look a lot better than 17s, but 19s would be perfect. WHat is the width on them, you might not have to roll fenders.

ftLauTL

the width for the 17's is 7

a buddy of mine told me the 17's with a low pro tire on our car would look nice

I am actually looking at the same rims in 18's. but my car is NBP. they are 8" wide tho and I am getting the car dropped on some teins. 2.1 front 1.6 back. 02-type-s do you know if this set up can be done without rolling he fenders? I think it can but I wanna check with someone who knows

Get them in 18's they don't make 19's, the ones I have are only 7.5 wide. They look great for the price.

18x8 with what offset?

02type-s

Does your buddy know how small 17s look on our huge cars? Thats the stock wheel size for the Type-S. If you insist on 17s, anything smaller than a 215/50 or 55 would look ridiculous.

hmm good call problem is i found not only these rims in 17's for a good price, but some falken 912's for really cheap too


guess im startin at square one

I believe 45 or 48 not sure.

02type-s

If you want them in 17s get them, but honestly I think you will be disappointed.

02type-s

Either one sounds good to me. You might have to cut tabs, but I doubt you would have to roll fenders for either of those.

ftLauTL

looks like im on the search for some 18's

i completely agree. don't get 17's. it's too small for our cars and not really an upgrade. get 18's or 19's ONLY. with a width from 7.5-8, you probably don't have to roll fenders unless you're slammed to the ground.

02type-s

-Or if the offset is wrong

LeeDan00

true. i meant to say that.

ftLauTL

i decided one some ASA 18's with an offset of 48

^ I like the mesh look. Very similar to classic BBS rims or even the Volk Winning rims (my biased choice). Those will work with very little (if any) modification, provided you go 225/40/18 tires. 235/40/18 tires might cause some rubbing in the back (usually driver's side rear) that would require trimming tabs if you are lowered.

Good luck and post pics if you buy those rims.
