Will these rims fit

http://www.shopmomo.com/g280751438w.html

Diameter: 17"
Width: 8"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3 mm
Offset: 38 mm

any ideas if these will clear the brakes and if I would need spacers or not? Thanks

Jason

Those are the identical measurements to the stock rims, so I don't see why not.

I thought the stock wheels have a 33mm offset, not a 38mm.

Did you try emailing MOMO and asking them if they did fit?

Besides, arnt the GT2's reserved for european market only?

The dish in the center is not what it should be....you may have to reduce the offset to say 32-30mm

actually MOMO is sending the shop by me where I found out about them one of the rims to test fitment. So I'm doing a little R&D for MOMO...sort've

As for only the Euro market, it doesn't seem that way since I'm able to get them

how is the offset reduced, is that with spacers? I don't know which way the numbers go

Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow or thurs (whenever the rim gets in) and let everyone know

Technoz,

Did these ever come into the shop? I was wondering if they fit or not. I've had my eye on the sports for many years and finally own a car I think they will look good on, so I'm figuring if the gt2's fit, so will those.

Let us know.

I think it's safe to say it worked out just fine. Good looking to.

no clue

edit: to try and be a little more helpful, from carrying the wheel in a box as well as the stocker in the same box, they felt roughly the same. So I don't think these are signifigantly heavier or anything like that. I haven't been able to find any specs on the weight and I forgot to ask to have it weighed when they were mouting them
