Hey everyone. I am trying to offload my 18" OE wheels with tires. Two tires are vertually new, the others are about 1/3-1/2 worn. They are mounted and balanced. Wheels do have some tarnishing as they were used for winter driving and where mostly stored in a shed. I'm only looking for about $250 for the set, as of today this includes my TPMS'. My 22's aren't using them and I may buy a new set for them unless someone where to have a set I could snag for cheap?
Open to all discussion and comment, please let me know.

Do AWD wheels fit on RWD? They will fit the rears, all of our cars carry the same rear end suspension, diff's, and axles and hub offsets. The only difference is the SRTs has a few performance tweeks)... hence you could put any suspension package only on the rear... ie I have Koni STR shocks from an SRT as well as Eibach performance lowering springs. The front on the other hand is a totally different story. The offsets of the front hub are significantly different between SRT, AWD, and RWD. So is placement/type of the lower strut mount and break calipers. You will be able to clear with OE AWD wheels, however, you'll be needing at least a 5mm to 7mm spacer to do so. Factory AWD wheel offset is around +55mm due to the drive system. The RWD is +24 and the SRT IS +25.5. I've done this on a few other LX's with a spacer. A good spacer its no big deal, one that has hubcentric rings cast into it. Others, like cheap universal ones from Autozone require the wheels to hold lug centric, not hub centric. This is not recommended on heavier vehicles. But, 5mm is less than 1/4 inch so its not a huge deal. Just not recommended in many cases. Although, you will find many car owners out there with this type of hub ring being used. Some tire shops like Discount and the like may have rings that are bolt specific, not universal, those would be the better option if one chooses not to purchase hub centric adapter rings. There, did I confuse you? Please feel free ask anything anytyime! |
