Will the rear 18x7's be too small for my 245's?

Also how much should i pay for 4 wheels with bad tires with light scratches and 1 small bend? The guy says they balance out with a tire.

thanks

Thanks, that's what i figured, im just trying to score them for cheap because the rear offset is +55 and i dont think that would look too good.
 
I don't know. I decided to ditch the 7" rims and buy 2 more 8" rims. I'll be running 18X8 forged alcoas with 255/45/18's all the way around once spring comes. And I simply can not wait :th_thumbsup-wink:

good job, someone with some sense.
 


Unfortunately i do not have the luxury of multiple gp parts near me like this fortunate fellow.


If this guy does not come down from $650 ill probably end up with these for $538.

I wasn't lucky enough to have 18X8 forged alcoas just waiting to be purchased near me.

I put in a lot of search time and work before I could find them. They're not easy to find and certainly not cheap the majority of the time. One rim I was lucky enough to get at a good price after a long search, the other was much more.

Are you putting the rims on a GXP? If not, you may want to reconsider what you want to buy. If it were me and I was purchasing rims for a non-GXP model, I probably wouldn't buy the GXP rims simply because they're staggared (unless you get all 8" rims). I'd purchase a similar rim (like the K5) and get 18X8's all the way around....that is if you want to stay with 18's.

But again, that's just my opinion......which really doesn't mean **** most of the time. :th_biggrin1:

Good luck in your decision

I dont have a GXP, but i like the look and polish of the wheels alot and if he can drop the price to ~ $400 theyd be nice.

Im assuming by k5 you mean kv5, and those are way too common.
 
I'm not positive of the name (was just off the top of my head), but the chrome rim looks almost identical to a forged alcoa GXP rim. I also have no idea how much a set of the KV5's run either.

If you can get the GXP set for $400 then it's a pretty decent deal assuming the dent will not create issues.
