Jeez I still can't find any rims I like.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:43 am

I really want them to look stock, meaning no chrome lip, wheel must be silver, not too much diameter (probably 16" max) and no fancy spokes. However I also want them to be exactly 8.0" wide. The only thing I can find are the drag rims.

Then you are technically not looking for rims you are looking for stocks.

Except that the stock ones are 15x6.

what kind of tire are you looking to run if you are aiming for an 8" wide wheel.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:16 pm

and what suspension.

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:18 pm

^^^good point

you can run a 224/45/16 on a 16x7 wheel. thats a lot of meat

Us Neon owners weren't blessed with unlimited suspension room as most newer cars out there have.

you can also get custom made steel wheels to whatever size you need.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 5:28 pm

Custom is always good as a last resort, but I find it hard to believe that there's nothing that is wide and stock I could get for cheaper than custom.

Suspension: Eibach pro street coils.
Tires: widest I can.

I may just go with the x7 wheels and get some wider tires as you mentioned

7" wide wheels, and 225 tires, you'll be fine. Honestly, stock SRT's run 205 tires anyway. 205/55/15's will most likely work for you.

Mild bolt-ons would spin those. A big turbo (which he's doing) would kill them.

Yeah, but what tire on a FWD car won't get blown away with a big turbo.

I still have trouble with traction on my 17x7.5 and 235 tires

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:35 pm

225 or 235 is the widest tire thats realistic to run on the street. Anything much wider is going to look crazy as shit, and you may need fender flares. If you're really that worried, look into drag radials for the street. If you want something really wide, you'll probably have to upgrade your rim choice from 15, to 16 or 17.

225/50/15 is the most common size you'll find in 15's, they end up around 23.9" around. 225/45/15 is a little more rare, but can be found, they are around 23" in diameter.

Honestly, to help reduce spin, you're going to want a taller tire (24"+ diameter), much more than anything in 15's will offer you. You will want to step up to 16's, or 17's.

Okay, I think I found some. Well, I know I found some, but I don't know if I can buy them anywhere. They are listed on Rota's site but you can't but direct from them. They are Rota: Quakes. The site lists many different sizes, including "18 x 8.0 0/+35/+40/+42/+45 5h x 100"

So does this mean that they are available in different offsets? If so, what offset is best?

Here's a weak chop of them on my car... I tried to make them actually look like 18"s.

Although, my favorite rota wheels are the "Real Light"s, but they only go up to 7.5" wide.

Hrmmm... call up Chong at Revline, I bet he would get em for you - I think he sells Rota wheels.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:59 pm
