NOW, i know that i need 5X114.3 , with 40 mm offset, and i dont really wanna lose a ton of performance by changing the shoes of the car, meaning im after a lightweight rim that doesnt change the total diameter, i have emailed the guy asking for the weight, wich he might not be able to give me because of the tires, i know that stock 6 wheels are 23lbs, or 40lbs with a tire according to someone on here (see, i
can search
).
What i am mainly curious about is that he says that the rims are 17X8 offset 38mm at the rear and 17X7.5 offset 30mm at the front, 255X40X17 on the rears and 235X45X17 on the rear.
Compare this with the stock 15X6, and my tires are 205/55R15 87V
i know 205 means thickness, 55 means % ofthickness as height, and 15 is the internal diameter, so i calculated
2(20.5 X .55)+38 should equal overal external diameter, i broke out a tape measure and it does, so sub in with these rims...
2(25.5 X.4) + 43.2 = 63, so a rough increase in diameter by 3-4cm, for the "rears"
2(23.5 X .45) + 43.2 = 64, so rough increase about 4-5cm for the "fronts"
with the 30mm offset, i will need a 10mm spacer right?, and with the 38mm offset ill need a 2mm spacer yes?
Also, will the somewhat 2" increase in width mean that these will rub on the inside of the wheel wells?
So basically im asking will these wheels fit my 6
, this is the info i have, All help is appreciated..
