Guest greimann Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 17x7 or 17x7.5 wheels will fit very nicely on a stock suspension. Lots of discussion in a few recent threads in this forum. Here is one example of a Honda adapter installation. http://home.earthlink.net/~dvgreimann/wheels.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done correctly summarized as in your wheel studs have a known history (ie. never overtorqued), your chosen adaptors are made to fit your hubs and studs properly, all resultant fasteners are proper spec/quality and properly torqued and checked with reasonably frequency (same as running ordinary wheels without spacers). For proper thickness, if you want to go wider than 7" width or move away from the OEM wheel centreline, then you'll want to measure up your ride and then pick a likely new rim candidate to compare specs/expected clearances to arrive at a thickness. If you want typical 7" width at OEM centreline then my stocking units are fine. Custom units are only a couple weeks time till they ship typically if you want a specific non-typical wheel or location. My website has a useful link under the product description for checking clearances as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
