These 17x7 wheels are 35mm offset. With a 0.25" spacer shouldn't they fit over the front calipers?

who wants to order one and find out for us??

 

Go for it man, I am after you! If nothing else, these might work as track wheels.

 

They don't look bad for $50, I've seen lotsa $200 and $300 that were lots uglier!!

 

these are only 7 inches wide, they would work well with winter tires as long as they fit over the front calipers OK (will require a spacer I am sure!).

 

The whites are nice too, and it shows the 5 bolt config.

 

dont you dare buy the whites, those are the ones I want!! I didn't post those on purpose!!

 

These wheels will fit my Gallant for sure, and maybe the EVO with spacers. I'm thinking about going for it.

Somebody talk me out of it!!

 

Don't do it Spike.




Did I talk you out of it?

My plan is to get some Bridgestone Blizzaks on the factory wheels for the winter, and in the summer I will get some nice wheels and performance tires.

 

Yup Poo/SirLancerLot/Fife'ster you are correct, I will probably end up doing the exact same thing that you are planning. It's the cheapest route for me too, as long as the stock Yokohamas last me till November - they may not at this rate :-(

I was just kinda wanting some extra cheap 7 inch wheels so I could get some narrow winter tires on the car for snow and ice. And these are $200 for the whole set... extra cheap!!

I'm just now getting back to the point where I have some funds for cars, trying to decide what to get now. The less I spend on winter wheels/tires this year the more I have for REAL mods
