the key to fitting rims on the 6MT

Is it the offset? I just saw the most beautiful rims in the AM pic gallery ... zennetti mystics (19x8.5)... wow they were hot .... but I dont think they will fit over my brakes!

As you can see from the pics, that car has AT....my suggestion is to call and see if they ever put them on our car. Sometimes a wheel dealer will have more luck getting this info than you as an individual. I can tell you the Zenetti Vega's don't clear the brembo's....

IMO, an important factor to fit a wheel on 6MT is the spoke design. The wheels can have proper offset and width, but the spokes may still hit the caliper.

I'm pretty sure the wheels in the other thread won't clear the Brembos. I might be wrong of course.

Sorry.... not just off hand, but I wasn't looking for that style when I was doing it. Did you find out for sure they wouldn't fit? I used a local tire and wheel place (they guy owns an 04 TL) to call around for me. I would suggest getting on the internet and doing a google search for tires and wheels and cruise the sites. If you just search wheels you get lots of stuff you don't need like steering wheels and lawnmower stuff lol. I ACTUALLY had fun looking....but then again I like rush hour.



.............NO not really
