one of those will these wheels work?'s

[pgfdv6]

hey guys so I wasn't quite ready to buy wheels for the stang yet but had a buddy of mine letting go of a set that I think look good. but my big question is will they fit....I know the bolt pattern is the same (5x114.3) but these wheels have an offset of +30.

I have read all over the internet and looked at several diagrams but for some reason I am just not comprehending the information when it comes to wheel fit meant and offset. so can anyone tell me if they will work for me?

I have 245/55/17 up front and 255/55/17 out back with a 1.5" drop in the front and an 1" in the rear. now being that these are 18's I'm worried about having to raise the car up seeing as how I don't have a lot of space between the top of the wheel and the fender the way it is now (maybe 3 finger gap)


here is a link to the wheels them self

Ask him to let you mount one up!!

Plenty of guys have bigger drops with 18’s and no problems. Offset will be the question.

I generally avoid agreeing with white just for fun but he’s right. See if you can bolt one on.

Now you must excuse me while I go scrub my hands and phone as typing that I agreed with white has them feeling quite dirty..........

They will fit. These wheels are 18X9 +30 and they fit fine. Once you get into 14" brake rotors, you may have an issue.

So I was able to get my buddy to bring a wheel by the shop last night and put one on tried both front and back with no fitment issues

Here are the back mind you the car is sitting on the lift and is raised also the tires that are on the rims pictured are only 215/35/18 VS. 255 /55’s that were on before.

And here’s the fronts again same thing with the tires sizes

I️ am a little worried tho it seems that wheels tuck in the wells a little bit but I️ figure with the right size tire that might change if not then I’ll start looking at spacers.

And am also wondering how wide in the back Can I go with tires since these are 8.5 wide?

 

[ttocs]

too gold imo

 

[evilcw311]

Those are extremely gold!!!

They could work tho if the car was setup right I think.

It’s like someone once told me with how crazy I modified my cars appearance. They said that if my car stayed stock then it was goofy but if it had the balls to back up the Wild appearance then it could be badass.

Same with those wheels. Lose the stripes on your car and give it some attitude and they could look great.

I don’t see why you couldn’t go 275-280 on the rear.

Holy Fk those are gold!! The ideal size is 265/35-18 for 18x8.5” wheels. The +30 offset puts the mounting pad closer to the face of the wheel. That’s why, obviously, they’re “sunk in” further than standard SN95 wheels. If the pad has the space between the holes, you can use a spacer no problem.

Hubcentric only!!!

I would think 275 might be a bit of a stretch. I think they look pretty good, but would need to see the rest of the car.

What exactly do you mean about the pad and spacing?

The back side of the wheel where it mounts to the hub/rotor is mounting pad. If you look at that area, you should see big slots between the lug holes...you can use a spacer, if its just solid, you cant use a spacer. At least not a bolt on spacer, only a thin spacer. 1/4' or so

 

[ttocs]

bolt in spacers are for thicker spacers and require the wheel to have small areas on the back to allow for the bolts to recess into.
