Would this profile fit? would I need spacers etc?

Thanks guys

Re: 17" Rims Opinions CE 1.5 Mirage

Your stud pattern is 4x100 so they wont fit.

mirage have 4x100 stud pattern not 4x114.3

also about spacers, they are illegal and are not really recomended for safety aswell
your best bet is to buy a set of rims with the offset etc you want rather than spacers (unless its a set u really really like and its not in the right offset)

For JDM look youre better off going small and fat. If you go onto JDM Style Tuning theres a mirage/lancer thread in their forums. Have a look at what the boys there do.

Rolled guards, some offset, and low looks really nice on rages. If I was you I would look into replica or genuine (if you have funds) BBS wheels (spoked with a bit of lip) for the JDM look. Just make sure you find the right stud pattern and offset so it will fit with a guard rolling. Something similar to what the honda guys do, if youre familiar with JDM style.

Thats just my opinion but I dont see a reason why big 17s wont look good either!

17x7 White Diablo Racers, i reckon they look wicked.

Get 18s if you want it to be really fast

 

[Royzie]

Make sure you get that JDM look! you don't want your friends to laugh, it needs TO BE JDM!

 

[Royzie]

JDM JDM!

Get the XXR 501's if you want JDM.

they need to think up a better name for JDM, its such a poor name descriptively speaking


OT: if ur after jdm rims abvove XXR 501's are very typical of the JDM scene

Sorry bit of a sidetrack but will 42 offset 17x7s fit a CE no scrubbing? They will be running 205/40 tyres.

 

[tm34]

yes they will. but is the stud pattern 4x100?
also, if you liked that style/colour. try these

Yeah stud is 4x100. I already got the wheels but only managed to find the actual spec sheet for them today after a bit of a search.

EDIT: these are the wheels in question not jdm, not super good brand, but I picked them up for a steal in mint condition and most importantly I like the style

lols


xxr = american company so not jdmyo
17's = large size rims/small tyre...not even jdmyo

ill find you some desmond regamasters or racinghart cp 035r's if you want to be really jdmyo

 

[Kicky]

18's are pro. I'm running 18x7.5 215/35 chromies. Looks shmick.

You picked them up for a "steal" as they are Rodney Jane Racing wheels....

True that. Still better than the stock 14s though, even if just to run better tyres. Whats the big deal brand wise anyway? I dont track the car and weight is about right for the size. Im not interested in spending more time taking pics than driving like some people on other forums do, dont really see the point in it tbh.
