If anyone knows the specs of the OEM wheel rims could they please post them? Thus far I only know the 16" specs which are 16x6.5" ET33, 5x112 PCD
Also, if you have specific non-OEM rims fitted (so know they'll be fine on the Tig) please can you post their details?
Thanks a million.

I have 18x8 ET42 running 235/50/18. ET35 would be much better IMO, fill the guards out a bit nicer. You could probably get away with ET30 in that width too and would look tuff as.

WOW! Thanks for the quick detailed replies. I've added detail to the caresheet and linked this thread.
Just on the topic, do you guys know whether 235/60 would fit the standard 16" rims, or would that be pushing things?

235/60/16 should work if OEM is 215/65/16. Here is a handy little link:

My wheel plans for next summer include 18x9.5" ET33 or 18x8.5" ET35 wheels with 255/45/18 tires. Might go with the 9.5" wide wheels. :eek:

245/40/19 with ET42 (I think, from memory). Should be no problems when I finally get the springs fitted :tapfingers:

Pretty sure they're under $1k (US) too for a set. Weight is like 25lbs for 18s I think.
