fronts are 18x8.5 and rears are 18x9.5...can't wait to get me some tires now

 

Cool, can't wait to see em on the car dude! How much per wheel?

 

oh i like em'!

 

they were $575 shipped to my door

i am gonna love the staggered look on my car, the front have a 2inch lip and the rear is a 3

 

no **** huh?

what are they they look nice

 

sportmax racing 962s

 

nice. seems those wheels are getting popular now. seen them on a few 4th gens they look good. cant wait to see them on your car

 

Bolt em on and take pictures already, shees!!

 

Haha, yeah. Cant wait to see them on the car.

 

no tires

 

wow $575 shipped is a deal. my chrome irocs were more than that....

 

Those look nice, were did you order them from?

 

an ebay store called sgmotoring

 

I too love those wheels and can't wait to see them on the car!

 

just boltem on with no tires to see where they sit in relation to the lip, id kill to know as I might get a set as I kinda got the wrong tires for my rims..

i think you have too much spacer for a 30ish offset wheel (2.5" or 2" by the looks of them)

 

the wheels are a 35mm offset and fit directly on a 4th gen...so the 2 inch spacer i have is just right

 

If you call just right, sticking past the fender lip in the front and past the quarter panel edge in the rear, then sure, flawless fitment.

 

Those look sweet! Ill have to stop by and look at those.

It's gonna drive you nuts having those with no tires to put on them

 

Weigh em before you put em on man. I was looking at those too...

 

28lbs a piece

 

well i guess i dont like the way the stock offset sinks into the car...it makes the car look horrible and weak and i absolutely ****ing despise it...i'd rather have the wheel well filled to the 1/4 and look tough

 

Yeah thats an awesome deal. I've never heard of Sport Max brand though, what are the wheels made out of and how are they constructed? Just curious. Also, what size tires do you plan on using?

 

I can't wait to see those on your car they look sweet.

 

Never kept me from bolting em on just to see..

 

they are more of an import brand i guess...someone made a photoshop with these wheels and a black rs and i was sold on that!



i am going to use 255/35/18 and 275/35/18

 

Tough, horrible, *******... yeah something like that, not to mention after you ruin your paint and slice up a few tires I hope you come to your senses.

 

they make new paint everyday...the whole car is being repainted anyway down the road...not to mention those rear spacers will be replaced with a 4th gen rear...if it ****s the car,...oh well..its my car and my money...get over it

considering i spend over 30 minutes a day cleaning up the car during the week and atleast 3 hours a weekend i dont think this car will be trashed any time soon...


91 rs/ss can attest for me...i am one of the pickyist bastards when it comes to having a nicely done clean car...sorry you dont approve

 

since i can't edit...




same offset, same wheels and what my car will look like



and since you're so concerned about the paint...do you actually think someone that has a car with paint like this would knowingly **** up his car on purpose?...













you can see in this picture about how much the car hangs over the rear 1/4 and how bad it looks...that is not what i am after...

 

HOLY SHIAT! yeah dude...those rims are gonna be SICK on that car, well done!

 

that car is beautiful anyways those rims are just gonna set off on a whole new realm of badass

 

Man, I can't wait to see the rims on the car! I am looking into getting a similiar style for my car, but I do not want to have to use spacers. There are so many rims out there to choose from!

These rims you have are very nice, and you got them for a great deal!

The only thing I may be worried about is your tire size. I think 35 series may be not enough sidewall. I am running 18's now and I have a 45 series tire on. Anyway, just something to think about.

Can't wait to see them!

I like the rims alot and I would like to thank you for giving us the link to them I know they will look badass on your car and cant wait to see them on. As a side note the pic of the black car with the black rims is the same pic I use as a screen saver on my phone for motivation on my car!

 

what troubles did you have?...i was considering going to a 40

 

DAmn those are going to look GOOD. Gah Dang!

 

I lowered it a little too.. couldn't help myself

 

Well obviously, you cant pay attention, or just too dense to listen to reason, maybe this will put things into perspective for you, being that you claim you wouldnt knowingly damage your paint, yet are completely ignoring someone who apparently has a better idea of how those are going to fit.

Your current 15x7's from which I can find have a 4.25" backspacing, sorting out the offset and lip etc, you've got 3" of rim from the face of your hub to the outer edge of each rim.

The 8.5's with 35mm offset and a 2" adapter will have 4.875" from the face moving your outer edge out 1.875" , not counting tires, so you'll move things out 2" putting your tires beyond the edge of your fenders, a few bumps and your paint is ruined from the tire hitting the fender.

The 9.5's with 35 and 2" will have 5.375" from the hub to the outer edge, increasing things 1.125", figure .35" of tire beyond the lip and you've increased things 1.5", again tire is going to hit the quarter after a few bumps and chip your paint there too.

 

sucks to be me , now doesn't it?...luckily i have adjustable struts and shocks to stiffen up the ride so i dont bottom out and a good body guy to roll the fenders.....luckily i am careful at how i drive the car and look out for bad spots in the road......luckily i have been on this site for over 6 yrs and can read what other people do with their cars...so i think i dont need people telling me how to do things with the 4th thirdgen i have owned...i am glad you're the only one that has to nitpick people's stuff , fo what ever reason who knows...happy at home?

 

you guys think those wheels will look good on a red car...Im very interested in a set of those rims...just dunno how they would look on a red third gen....ive seen them on red 4th gens and they look great

 

you can get ones that are just silver

 

I think they'd look daaaaamn good on a red car. Especially mine(pictured)

 

im sold lol...im buyin em right now

 

Quick hack to silver.. ok I'm really digging the silver on red. As paris would say.. Haaaaawt.

 

Holy ****! Once these are mounted, the car will be one of the top 10 around here.

 

should i get 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 .....and what size spacers will i need if anyone could help me out with that

 

they look great man...dont let that guy get to you, they look awesome

 

they look awesome...lets get some day pics

 

8.5 for front, 9.5 for rear. Unless you want to run the same size tire all the way around so you can rotate. If that's the case 8.5 around.

I won't comment on spacers width. I don't want Z28***** to yell at me

Phyte

 

lol...people use 4 th gen rims everyday with spacers and they work just fine, these were fit for a 98 camaro

 

If you get 8.5 front and 9.5 rear I would get a 3/4" front and 3/4-1.0" rear adapter.

8.5" Front .75-1.0"

9.5" Front 1.0"

9.5" Rear 1.0"

Black84: Your lip rolling idea is cute, what you arent listening to, is that your tire will be far too far out for a lip roll to help, it will be past the edge of the outside of the panels, not the inside, for a roll to help, it has to be close enough that the lip is all that will hit the tire, oh and your 4 thirdgens is cute, someday i'll make it to the big leagues like you, after all i've only owned six thirdgens and two fourthgens.

 

where did you get those rims? I want those really bad for my white iroc.
