There are many people with sportline springs running 18" wheels, so 17" will not be a problem. As long as the bolt pattern is 5X100 and the offset isn't too terrible it should work just fine. Ideal offset would be +35. That would be flush with the body, but people have different offsets. My rims are +42, which makes them sit in a little bit, but don't get anything lower than +35, as that would stick out from the side, like an ugly trash lowrider.

I seem to recall that they are 5x114 because my buddy sold his SRT4 wheels to my other friend with a RX7.

I have scion tc wheels, which are 17x7 and they fit great, they do raise the car a bit more, which i nice for my lip kit. This post has been edited by Digndoug: May 3, 2006 - 8:21 AM |

In the 1st post he says "They're not stock"
I know OEM wheels are one pattern, but since he says they are not the stock wheels I asked about universal 5-lug. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I was thinking the same thing, and as you can see a 19" rim will fit with no problems.

I found out today that they were a mutilug rim, and factory SRT4 is 5x100.
nowitzon - me and you are a testament that 19"s fit, dont you just love how 19"s raise the car so much, I reccomend coil overs I dropped mine on Tech-S's and still is a monster truck. BTW I am going bigger then 19"s now.... DTE -------------------- I am a thief.
