Wow those look really, really good. Where did you pick them up, and what size are they? 18x8?

looks clean cut... now you need a drop... how much did it set you back?

kriskraut · 03-31-2007, 10:23 PM

Nice!

What's the offset on those?

Thanks... The rims were $700 shipped & the tires wire $600 Shipped. Swapped over the tire pressure monitors, mounted and balanced myself ... Total Cost = $1,300.

Got the rims from Lexus of Roseville (Cali) off of eBay ... Brand New!

I probably won't drop (I know it would look much better) ... but I got other mods comming up ... so keep an eye out ... I'll be posting!

They are 18" x 8" on a 45mm offset ... 5 lug pattern.

Thanks, now you need some tint.

That looks great, and those are very good tires, too!

How much do those wheels weigh?

Looks good. Any pics from another angle? Rear 3/4 preferably.

That's great! I am surprised that a 245 tire with a 45mm offset worked. I would've thought you'd need to push the wheel out a bit (say a 40mm offset) to prevent rubbing on the inside. I am glad you posted the size and offset, because it gives me an idea how much room there is to work with.

BTW, they look great!!!

There is literally like 1 finger of room in the back rims ... a bit more in the front Absolutely NO RUBBING AT ALL. Plus ... with this rim/tire combination, there is only a -1.7% difference in overall circumference ... which is nominal. Keeps the speeo/odometer & NAVI accurate as much a possible to factory specs.

I used to like those wheels when we first got our GS300, but I've grown to like our 17" GS standard wheels better. I'll eventually put a set on our Camry.

As strange as it sounds, I think those wheels make your Camry look like an Accord!
