86 gt what rims??

86gt351w · May 23rd, 2011, 07:36 PM

Currently I've got the welds with et streets and skinnies up front, I want to get some new 4 lug rims with street tires and save my other rims and tires for the strip, what size rims can I go without changing things and what size tires, also I'm wanting some black rims, it would be nice to buy a rim and tire package, what rims look good that won't break the bank? Any good websites that offer rims and tire packages? Thanks

Yes they will, just stick with a 8 inch wide front wheel with a 235 tire on it. Anything more, and you'll rub.

17x8 in the front what about rear size and how
Big of a tire can I squeeze in there?

FastStang91Lx · May 23rd, 2011, 10:45 PM

Generally a 9 inch (or a 10 inch with 6.5 backspace) wheel is about as big as you can do without the wheel sticking out stupid. Tire would be a 275. If you find a staggered set (8's and 9's) you can do a 235/45 up front and a 275/40 out back. You'll need to upgrade your control arms to one's with poly pushings though to be able to remove the quad (horizontal from the axle) shocks to give you the room.

86gt351w · May 23rd, 2011, 11:44 PM

So 17x8 up front with a 235/45 tire and for the rear all of that quad junk is removed so I would be looking at 17x9 with a 275/40 tire and I'll be good to go? Currently the rear mt are a 255 with some room to grow.

FastStang91Lx · May 23rd, 2011, 11:54 PM

Yessir. Ebay used to have staggered sets of R's for 4 lug a long time ago. That's about as cheap as you're going to get, as far as rim choices since it's the most copied. Not sure if they are still on there or not. I assume you are still 4 lug, maybe you're 5 (or 3 like Hatch, lol)

86gt351w · May 25th, 2011, 11:01 PM

found these rims on ebay that i really like but cannot find them anywhere else looking for a rim and tire kit, anybody know who sells these rims? thanks

FastStang91Lx · May 25th, 2011, 11:16 PM

Confused... What's your question? Does anyone else but OE Wheels sell them? Is that what you're asking?

FastStang91Lx · May 25th, 2011, 11:41 PM

If you are looking for tires, look no further than discounttiredirect.com

86gt351w · May 26th, 2011, 12:00 AM

Let me rephrase that, does anyone sell these rims cheaper? I know eBay prices are hard to beat but ya never know, what's a good street tire, toyos?

FastStang91Lx · May 26th, 2011, 12:05 AM

Buck 25 is about as cheap as you are going to find them. Even if you went non staggered you'd have 400 into them plus shipping. Street tire is a matter of personal preference. I like nitto's, but they are kinda chirpy.

86gt351w · May 26th, 2011, 12:14 AM

Sounds good bro thanks for all the help I'll post pics when I get it all done

86gt351w · May 26th, 2011, 12:37 AM

Hey man what nitto are you running? Nt-555? Thanks again
