#17647, "3000 GT Base Wheels"


          

I've already done the search if they could fit our cars, but the person was asking for the 18" version. I was wondering if the 16" version will fit in our cars. Let me know the specs on them if you can. Thanks.

They should bolt right up, might need a spacer. They are 16X7.5 with a 46MM offset, so they aren't that wide. I can fit a 17" VR-4 wheel with a 15MM spacer (well, that's how it looks anyways), and those are 17X8.5 with a 46MM offset (31MM offset with the spacer). The base wheels should fit, though.

Not sure. When I get my eclipse back from the body shop, I could check for you. I must say tho .. the 3000gt vr4 stock 17's are frickin diesel compared to my stock eclipse 14's. To the point where when the two are next to each other, the vr4 looks like its running on slicks and the eclipse is on 10-speed bicycle tires. I'd imagine 18 won't be too much bigger, just less rubber. I have 17's tho.

The eclipse will be back in about 10 days, so if you don't know by then, I can check

That 18 is a reduculous wheel. From what I hear, due to it's width, it won't fit in the fenderwell with the added diameter. I don't know, though...

Ya, the 18 will not fit width wise. They have like 275 width tires stock.

The 18s are still 245s, but the extra height makes things a bit, uh, tight. Well, way beyond tight. Hell, the 17s are tight!
