Well, i came across a killer *** deal (IMO)

The wheels are in town (houston,tx) and i can pick them up whenever...



Enkei Aegis (in chrome but ill fix that somehow )



(2)17x8F i believe the offset is +38 front

(2)17x9.5R and i think these are +38 also



(2) 255/45R17F

(2) 275/40R17R



the wheels are used and the tires are 50%.







what you guys think they are worth?

i'd expect $1000 and



ROLL YOUR FENDERS NOW



you are gonna get some nice rubbing with those tires in the back



i just noticed 255/40 in the front! umm i don't think those will work. 255/35 maybe if they even make those . go with 225/45 will rub slightly on big bumps.......

yeah, i figured the wheels would be too wide, the rears shouldnt rub.. they never did on my 93 base



the fronts is what im worried about.. ill prolly go out and get some 225/45s like you said



btw.. im paying $750.00 for them. Wheels are in perfect condition.

They look pretty good.. Oh yea, and just wondering.. If someone has all the bolts-ons and goes to the strip a few times a month.. what is a good size of tires for the front? and back? Or does the sizes really matter? I know, the bigger the tire, usually.. the better the traction.

i went to look at them today, the lips need to be spit shined a bit and one wheel has very minor curb rash, i talked the guy into swapping the front tires out for me, to some 225/45's and possibly dropping the price on them a little bit. but all in all they are in pretty good shape. The offset is still unknown, but its possible that the front is +37 and the rear is +38 Im gonna test fit them tomorrow at their shop, and if they fit... ill take em

yeah, i was really set on getting 18s.. but i figured this deal was too good to pass up.. so they will do for now...





btw..



IF the offset is 37 on the front can i fit a 235/40R17 up there on a 17x8?
