recently i drove into a pothole, the size of a speed hump (somehow the speed hump that used to be there... went missing, no lie) and cracked/buckled my alloy. I have currently got my eye on a temporary set on eBay and was wondering if these specs/numbers are fine for the car. will they fit without rubbing/hitting arches? is it going to affect speedo? etc. (its the offset that gets me)
PCD: 5X100 (i know thats fine) RIM: 7x17 H2 OFFSET: ET 45 CENTRE BORE: 75mm (will get spigot rings) TYRES: 215/45/R17 any info would be much appreciated! --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

Yeah, that's fine... exactly what I'm running (with the exception of the centre bore, which you have already accounted for). Quite sucked in, but drives just fine. Your speedo will run about 3% over so make sure you don't get any tickets, but again not a huge deal. You won't rub unless you space out (I put +25 on the back and needed to roll the guards). --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

Kind of like the gts rims. I'd recommend spacers for most 5x100 rims since they have ugly offsets. -------------------- |
