Prime Power Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I am going with goodyear TT for the tires. I really don't know which tire to go with. I like the 318 black chromes better for my theme, but not happy about the 40mm offset. Boss 318 17x8, 40mm Momo 17x7, 42mm offset Thanks for the help.
Obsessotron Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I gotta be honest, I think those wheels are both too overstated. I have come to find that the best looking wheels (to my eye) are the ones that look less aftermarket and more OEM (bigger than OEM of course)
Prime Power Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Got some pics? I am open to suggestions. I do like both of those though.
Prime Power Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Should I be worried about the 40mm offset messing up my wheel bearings?
DiscoWagon Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Should I be worried about the 40mm offset messing up my wheel bearings? Personally, I wouldn't run anything lower than a +42 on a 5x100 hub.
Prime Power Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Is that because of clearance, or the wheel bearing. This is only my second set of rims ever and am still learning about them. I looked at the sticky, but also searched and some people are running that offset, so I don't know what to do.
whitetiger Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 ^its a bit of both. 40/42 offset is a bit to low, especially for the 17x8 rim. you will have fender clearance issues and it will be harsher on your wheel bearings. And IMHO, nither of the rims are very good looking.
Prime Power Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the help, I guess I will go with the second. If you guys have any suggestions, please post them. Thanks
GTTuner Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I think these really compliment the LGT, offset is correct also; http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77016
JonLGT Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Buy used wheels, you get a better wheel for the money you spend and most of the time you can buy them with tires.
boostsr20 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the help, I guess I will go with the second. If you guys have any suggestions, please post them. Thanks Whats your price range per wheel?
Prime Power Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 I would like to keep it under $800 if possible for rims total.
Prime Power Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Ended up going with these and like them way more than either of the above. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82479
NewLegGT67 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 If you can't find the right offset keep searching. You'll be happier in the long run. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.
hutru01 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Too much writing on the MOMO wheel. I like the color of the Boss personally.
Cynder Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I put the 318s on my LGT but am running into scrub radius issues when I carry passengers. I'm sorting through the problem but the wheels look great. I'll post a pic when I'm certain I can keep the wheels.
