I am buying a new set of rims (hopefully) this is the discription of the times tires, but they seem VERY wide... but he says they will fit my car... but i am having my doubts... any idea's? what is the widest we can go? 8.5/9 right?

i just want to make sure.. thanks.

I'm selling my 18s due to some financial trouble at the moment. They are called TR Motorsports Typhoon (aka Seneka Sport)...
18x9 Front with 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
18x10 Rear with 255/45/18 Nitto 555 Extreme Performance

This is a most amazing combination -- lightweight, wide, and sticky...

5X114.3 LUG PATTERN

 

cool to see more RI maxes on the org!

anyways, ya 18x10 is REALLY wide. u have your car lowered or anything? having wider rear wheels doesnt help our cars since they're not rear wheel drive cars. but i dunno. i would imagine they would look fugly too on the car sticking out.

yeah i know the bigger wheels in the back dont do anything, but they are nice rims selling for cheap on ebay.

i want them, but i am worried they will not fit.look funny.

Edit: yes my car is lowered, amound many other things. lol. and a for a fellow RI'er! lol

 

Ummm, you failed to specify the offset. Without that, the answer is = no solution.

 

10" is way too wide

 

lol, okay. i guess i will keep searching then. thanks

 

You got the wheels on ebay?

 

no, i didnt buy them. i am going to my local store tonight to buy some rims (hopefully)

 

Goodluck with everything!

 

thanks... ill need it! lol... i hate picking out rims... they cost so much, and i cant picture what the will look like on my car... its like picking, and praying they look good... bah. and i need to buy them today because the bubble in my tire is like ready to pop...

 

It can fit depending on offset and tire size...

 

Right....I'm sure the rims will fit, you just need the correct offset and correct tire size.....

what kind of suspension do you have? if you plan on upgrading to coilovers and slamming your ride....plan on rolling your fenders becuz I bet they will rub like crazy if your slammed

 

I just bought some rims/tires from a local store... 19x8" 225 width with a 40 offset i think. racing heart GT5's, with toyo proxes. came to $1839.00 before taxes w/o all the extras, but my friend hooked me up for $1250.

they come in on friday... i am happy.

thanks for al lthe help guys!

 

Great choice! 19s will look sexy on a 2k2....do you have a pic of the rims?

I'm not sure what your goals are....but if your going for performance....225 width is pretty damn skinny for a 2k2....but if your goal is just blinging around town....225s will be fine

 

The lower you go, the less the tires stick out of the fender in the front, therefore no need to roll the fenders. The increased camber on bumps also avoids fender rubbing issues.

 

yeah u should of went w/ 245 width but 225 will look good anyway

 

right...but that means the rim/tire is going to be rubbing on the inside....most people who are slammed usually don't rub on the outside becuz they buy the correct offset wheel.....but they do rub on the inside.....I rub too (only a little), but i'm running a high offset wheel which is not ideal for slammed cars and my fenders aren't rolled....i bet if i got my fenders rolled....i wouldn't rub at all

so you might want to get your fenders rolled if you plan to go that low with such wide rim

 

oh crap... that stinks... but i can always change them... i have 30 days to do so. do i have to get diffrent rims to go 245 width? i wish i would have known..

 

245s on an 8 wide is within spec and fits almost perfectly...a perfect fit would be 245s on 8.5 wide....so to answer your question, NO you do not need to return/change your rims to run 245s

 

i have tr motorsport rims...seneka sniper's i think they have the same offset of +35, check the valve stem too...i have a 5mm flush mount and they are very rare and expensive. Great quality rims though

 

awsome... i will tell him to put them on order. oh, and i found a pic... it is a bad pic, and they look better in person, but here it is...
