93745, Will i have problems with fitting 18 x 7.5 inch rims on my car?
Posted by ajcfalcon, Apr-20-06 11:10 AM

Like the title says, and what size tires am i looking at? I dont have a clue about tires so any help would be awesome... but i just want to know if those rims would be too big on the eclipse, i have 16's right now.

Thanks guys

P.S. The car is NOT dropped and i dont have any plans to do so in the near future...

You should be fine at stock height with up to about a 235/40/18. Any bigger and you might rub on corners. Lower your car and you will need to go down to a 225/40/18 or even a 215/40/18 depending on the offset of the rims.

93815, One more question on bolt pattern
Posted by ajcfalcon, Apr-23-06 07:22 AM

When i searched it said the bolt pattern was 5 x 114.3mm or 4.5inches....

The rims i want are 5 x 100mm/4.5inches..... will they still fit?

I run 19x8.5" rims with 225/35 tires...I'm lowered on H&R Sport Springs.. The rims have a slightly odd offset that sets them out just a tad..so I think that helps... Ive rubbed a few times, but nothing worth worryin about.. but it's close.

like ryan said, you should be golden. sprint springs here...2.25 inch drop on 18X8's on 225/40/18 and no problems. post pics when you're done.

later

all wrong. they'll bolt up. 5 x 4.5 = 5 x 114.3 = our bolt pattern. if the wheels are 5 x 100/4.5 that means they have 10 holes; 5 for 5 x 114.3, 5 for 5 x 100
