#28342, "Wider Rim Question"


          

Ok i have a 96 rs eclipse and my friends mom has a Trans Am WS6 with 17" Rims. She just got new rims last week and she said i can have them to put on my car (theyre clean). But The Problem Im thinking is that the tires are wider. Will they fit on my car? Theyre 5 lug as well as i. r they too wide or will they fit? My friend got wider rims on his 95 Integra but i dont know if theyre WS6 Trans Am Stock Rim Width though, they could be smaller. oh well anyways, anybody pssoibly have an answer?

Definately a different Bolt pattern. The eclipse is a 5 x 4 1/2" the Firechicken wheels are 5 x 4 3/4". Besides even if they were the right pattern, they are the wrong offset, and WAY too wide.

Take them anyway!!! If she is giving them to you and sell them. You could probably sell them for enough dough to buy a nice set that will fit.

Finally the intelligent answer, it usually takes about 4-5 posts to get there, but it gets there emoji
