Opinions Wanted... Possible Aggressive Fitment - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

EMX5636 · 11-21-2010, 07:21 PM

I'm thinking of trying an aggressive fitment on my Galant VR4. I had a buddy lend me his 18x9 30 offset Rota's for a test fit. Let me know what you all think. I know I need to run a little more camber in the front, and roll the fenders a bit. Tires are 245-40, but I'd probably end up running 225's.

I like the wheel but not in a 18, especially on a galant.
Something 17x9 would be as big as i'd go.

JDMmuscle · 11-21-2010, 07:51 PM

I like the stance, However, word of advice, Rota's are awful wheels man. ESPECIALLY if you are AWD/4wd i cant tell you how many wheels i have personally see brake under normal driving conditions.

The fitment is nice, cool that is on a rare car. If it was mine, i would pull the fenders a little bit more and go lower. just my opinion <3

I'm with you on pulling the fenders... Those pics are stock body, just wanted to see how far/if I could pull them. I'm considering trying 17x9's. Anyone have a pair they could lend for test fitment?

... The wheels are nice, go with them in 17's and you'll be golden in my book.

renn · 11-21-2010, 08:44 PM

i would do 15's or 16's..

don't know gvr4 fitment at all.. but based on the pics a 16x8 25-35 offset with a 215/45 and more low would look sick and be flush enough.

EMX5636 · 11-21-2010, 08:53 PM

^ My previous wheels where Evo MR BBS 17x8's. I'm not going smaller than that... I am considering 17's more and more though.

EMX5636 · 11-24-2010, 09:49 PM

Any other opinions? Like the 18's? Stay with 17's? Scratch the whole idea? Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

The 18s are super agressive and look pretty good, but I think the 17s with a meatier tire would look tits.

DC2-Chris · 11-24-2010, 10:22 PM

i would definetly go with 17's the 18's just dont look right, and a meaty tire would look great and more low of course

justinlansdale · 11-24-2010, 10:36 PM

looks good justin! i have a 17x9 +15 offset rim without tire in my trunk and you are more than welcome to test it!

300zx_tt · 11-25-2010, 03:02 AM

boostboy · 11-25-2010, 03:07 AM

EMX5636 · 11-25-2010, 10:44 AM

PunkboySL2 · 11-25-2010, 12:24 PM

17 for sure. 18's are too big for your car.

DPancoast · 11-25-2010, 06:12 PM

i agree thats 18s are too big! other than that it would look real good!

sean3 · 11-25-2010, 06:59 PM
