alexe429 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hey every one. I'm still a noob here (haha) I have an 08 lgt completely stock and I've been looking at new wheels for it. I've never fitted wheels on a car before and was wondering what important factors for fitment are. I am currently looking at some bbs 18" sr 024 I'm not sure if I'm going to lower the car or not but I do like the look of spaced out wheels that are flush with aftermarket fender flares. But I'm concerned that the spacing would result in the wheels rubbing against the fenders. Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 18" will be fine as long as you get the correct offset. Read in the wheel/tire forum. Do you know how to check the oil in these cars ? You should get the car tuned and off the stock MAP it can/will burn valves. There are other things you should be worried about before wheels and tires. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexe429 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks guys. I'm not planning on doing any body modifications until I get the timeing belt done and a few other mechanical things. I just like to know my options for the future.
