225 is 9 inch, should be square.

You'd think so but if it were so it would be oversquare since the rim width is measured between the bead hooks on the rim.


Here's the LGT Wheel Rim and Tyre Sticky: FAQ: Offsets, Sizes for Rims and Tires on the GT! Xenonk Version!
Relevant info:
8.5" (+45mm to +48mm offset, +45) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255
225mm = 7", 7.5", and 8"
235mm = 8", 8.5", and 9"
245mm = 8", 8.5", and 9"

19 in. rims (for GT 2005-on):

225/35/19 (common typical sizing for 19" for our cars)
235/35/19 (tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car if you get the right offset)
245/30/19 (rare size, but also tallest tire you can mount without fender clearing issues on a 2" lowered car)

Heres an offset calculator to play with.

And I'll dig up those handy comparative rim/tyre/suspension tools too. One of them included camber iirc

Bro: r u tryin to out-VIP me?

.....maybe.

Was even reluctant to post link in case someone else got em first

[bosc0]

Are these the GB LM copies?

Nah got my eye on these. http://www.vertiniwheels.com/images/wheels/hennessey/hennessey.htm

And before you say anything, no I dont love BMW.

I'm not a fan, have seen similar efforts on a Liberty and something about it just doesn't work. However, this is just my opinion... It's yo life, do what you want you crazy eskimo

[bigBADbenny]

Jake we can't all be rolling around on rare but affordable Japanese 18" alloys with pokey fitment.










(But if Esky wants a hand with that he cam pm me )

[bosc0]

Still not convinced, sorry. I'd look at some Koya's or something similar if i were you (but i'm not... i'm me.... maybe)

I have just removed the following posts, starting with cruisn's.
I think he'd prefer they'd never been here.

[cruisn]

Indeed Ric, thanks.

Opinions?

I reckon white on white will look tidy...

Can't find them in 19", but these seem like a good buy anyway?

[bradr]

Firstly, be aware of the word, "Styling" - these are not genuine Advans.

Secondly, they won't fit - Libs need 5 x 100, not 5 x 114.3

cheers,

bj

No shit?! Fakes or what? I thought they were too cheap. Shame, nice wheels anyway.

Noted that I know nothing about rims. lol

Cheers mate!
