Wheels selection available on TireRack

[bneale]

I really hate how tirerack only shows you the current model wheel size and up! I'd love to see some 16inch wheels and what they look like on the car. We already know they fit because the GT86 has 16's stock in Japan.

I just hate how tirerack forces you into looking at the current size or higher. Why can't they just show you anything which fits?

To explain what I'm talking about, go look at a 2012 Fiesta SE and compare the results to a 2012 Fiesta SES. Same 4x100 bolt patten on both cars. The only difference is the SES model comes with 16's stock and the SE is 15's.

You can't see the 15's when veiwing the SES model and I hate that. I prefer smaller diameter due to obvious weight reasons.

Ask Scooby_South what he's got, as I recall they are 17*9s popular on the WRX. Rota makes a lot of wheels in that fitment too.

I've been checking the front page where wheels are still greyed out. Guess Tirerack's web folks are slacking.

I went through and put in 2013 BRZ and it shows wheels, tires, brakes, suspension items open. Only thing that isn't working is to see the wheels on your car.

I wish they had those TR motorsport wheels that the miata has for STR class. $600 17x9 wheels? I'm there!

Anybody click on the TPMS info? It says it will be about $400 just to add the TPMS sensor to 4 wheels! Ouch!

I noticed they didn't have the WedsSport tc105n on the list.

18 x 8, 42 offset, 16.1 lbs
17 x 8, 42 offset, 14.9 lbs

Is there a problem with this offset?

Tire Rack won't list rims/offsets that are too far from the stock dimensions, even if you could probably get them to fit. If you're sure you want them, just call and order over the phone. They're just trying to keep returns to a minimum.

When I ordered a set of rims and tires for my spec.B I chose a combo that was right on the outside of what would fit. I actually got a call from someone at Tire Rack to verify my order and make sure I knew it wasn't a known combo that would fit. But I told them I was aware and they sold me what I wanted.

There was a vendor posting on here with self-programmable sensors. About the same price, but you can clone your factory id codes (this means you don't need the dealer to switch wheels!).

Anybody know a good place that sells those advan rg-d in a 5x100 pcd and are aware of the cost, weight and general specs.? Really sharp wheels and hoping they are flow cast fore weight reduction, but its hard to find good info on them.

[quote=LSxJunkie;209251]That's 3mm lower than this car (18x8 +45, 225). I think you should be fine, so long as you know where your towel is.


You must be a hoppy frood. Always have to know where your towel is.
