wut size rims/tires fit well on a s5?



1990 gxl.



any particular reccomendations? rim brand? size? tire brand? size? thanks guys.

17s

How much do you want to spend?

Forget Tirerack for wheel sizes. That site won't help much. You want 17's? 17x8 offset +35 in the front and 17x9 ofset +35 in the rear is about as wide as you can go. Some have gone wider, but it's really f'n close. 225/45 or some 235/45 in the front, 255/40 or even some 265/40 in the rear will work. This is assuming you have other than the stock suspension. I've heard it can get in the way. I have 16x8 offset +30 all around (too far out in the front unless you can change it's angle and limit the body roll) and they worked with the stock suspension in place while it was there. BTW, different tire models are different actual widths. Check the manufacturers specs first. Tirerack is good for that info.

i was giving him the site so he can see some rims that might look good on his car. then he can go out and find something familar :bigthumg: BTW i'm grumpy cause my daughter threw up all over the bed thats y im awake at 2:21AM

No worries. I just said that about that site because it let me down when I was thinking of getting some wheels. I knew what could go on a FC, but didn't know what offsets were good to go. Tirerack doesn't even get close to what can go on there.

hey really appreciate the feedback..



i have stock suspension. what kinda upgrades should i look into before looking into those wheels jerk racer suggested?

I would go out and buy a issue of Turbo Magazine, the amount of rim ads in there is mind boggling. Compeate 17" rim/tire packages for like $799, I know they might be heavy blah blah, but if someone doesnt have alot of money to spend its a good deal.



Any import magazine for that matter, just dont get a Honda one, lol

thanks, but i was looking more for performance. i know i can just go for flashy looks and wut not, but i rather get good wheels that are light and solid.



any brands out their that you guys highly rec?

SSR and BBS have some pretty light wheels.

How good your wheels are depends alot on how much you've got $$.

I say Volk, but I also live in a fantasy land and am rich beyond belief.

But almost every manufaturer today has a line of "light race wheels".

Find a style you like, start looking form there.

eggcellent.



does white on white look nice?



or is it too ricey? :rice:

:rice: I don't like the way it looks on my AE.

so wut goes well with a white paint job? jet black rims?

Gun metal

o jsus cabrio, your avatar scared the **** outta me. i dun have my contacts in, and i had to get real close to my monitor to figure wut it was. thanks, that was pleasant =).



thanks for all your recs.

Ill trade you my bbs wheels for the 10AE's wheels https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

My AE wheels are beat to ****. So I put on my BBS rims from my vert. I like it a lot better now.



I figured someone would have to look really hard to figure it out. Looks painfull!

You would be out of your mind to trade a set of BBS vert wheels for a set of turbo II rims that have been painted white.



Your vert would look like a bastard child with a set of AE wheels on it.

If you are serious though I can hook you up with some white TII rims no problem.

How much?

How good a shape are your vert wheels?

there in excellent shape the center caps have a few scratches on them from the previous owner but nothing really really bad.

I was going to offer you a trade for your BBS rims if we could find someone with a set of TII rims they dont want anymore.

That would be cool, i thought about trying to find someone who didnt want theirs but i figured know one would trade them for my bbs wheels

Find a set of TII rims and we will be set.

I have 2 verts but only 1 set of BBS rims, I could use another set.

I have my AE wheels on my vert (I'm not driving it right now), and it looks SO DAMN RICEY! :rice:

take a picture i want to see how it looks.

His vert is black though.

My digital camera is broken.

Your good with photoshop, so change the color of these rims and there you go!

bump: where is the photoshopped version of that turbo vert with white rims?

I havent gotten around to doing it yet. Ive been a little buisy unpacking my stuff. Ill try and do it tonight.

Ah, new house?



What ever happen to that oil leak? Get to the bottom of it yet?

Nope no new house i went on vacation for 3 days. No i havent gotten to finding the oil leak yet. Im going to go buy some brake cleaner and clean it all up down there so i can tell exactly where its coming from.

sorry bt you need to get some deep dish 18's

i have 18's on my 7 n i have have not seen one 7 lookin better than mine on the streets my self, my friend had 19's on his turbo 7

no 16 an maybe 17's but looks wise 18's

yeah, i think gun metal looks the best on white, that is what im putting on mine. 5zigen Copse 17x8 (if they will have it, i will settle for 17x7.5) Gun Metal, looks nice man. goodluck
