I was just thinking about rims and realized I hadnt even checked to see what the pattern is for the new lancers.

RRM I saw you had some new wheels on yours, what is the bolt pattern that is used and what width did you go with? Thanks!

 

bolt pattern is 5x114.3

 

try to post some pics when you get them!

 

I know bolt pattern but has anyone played with the offset on these cars? I am looking @ getting advan rs wheels but need to see if I can mess with the offset @ all. What is stock?

 

Stock on the GTS is 46mm. Not too many people have rims yet, so I'm not sure how much play there is on offset.

 

this too has been lingering in my mind...after finals this week my friend said he let me try on his TE37's 17x9 +22mm.....i'm looking to get something in that range 18's rather 17's....i'll post pics ASAP

 

Hopefully they'll clear the brakes...

 

good luck with that, that sounds like RWD offset. You got 24mm less offset and a wider rim.... but then again the Lancer is a new car to me so I dont know what the clearance on this car is... I'd like to know....hmm I got some 18x9.5's in 35mm... haha

 

now how much can we go +/- a 46 offset? ie can i get a wheel with 33+offset? is it the lower number u go, the clearance problem you'll have?

 

Depends on the clearance to the calipers and stuff. We'll have to find out over time.

 

lower offset will push the wheel outwards so too low of an offset will rub the fenders Higher offset sinks the wheel in more causeing clearance problems with caliper/coilover/innerfender. Then when you start playing around with widths it gets a little more confusing becaise now the offsets change to accomodate the width...probably gonna be a little trial and error for some people unless someone out there has an offset gauge which bolts on to hun and allows you to mock up widths and offsets to check for clearance. Summit Racing sells these but I believe its in inches, not mm, but then you can just whip out the calculator

 

I would like to get 19's later on......

 

u think if I lower my car with grip springs on 18x8 wheels that it would be fine. I'm havin the hardest time trying to figure this out

 

u think if I lower my car with grip springs on 18x8 wheels that it would be fine. I do not knoe a lot about wheels. just wondering if this would cause any problems cause I knoe stock is 18x7 on the gts

 

you should be fine rrm's site has them on a car with 19s.
