Default What do u guys think about this set of rims...

i'm planing to get these used momo rims from a friend, but i dunno if they are good for my sc400, they are 18x 7.5, tires 225-40-18, can i use 235-45-18 on them??? i'm kinda confused, just dunno how will these rims and tires perform as daily drive if i put them on... thanks

Sweet wheels, but kinda narrow?... Do they com in an 8.5" or 9"? That would give you a fatter stance for sure and fill that wheel well up...could go up to a 265 tire for the rear.

7.5 is good enough for dailys, although i have 245s all around instead. 225/40 is definitly too small though

staggered setups are usually more suited for track use, but that doesnt mean they cant be used for the street. 275s on 17x9.5 supra TTs....mmmmm....meaty

If you like those wheels, then you should buy them.

Personally, I wouldn't get them though.
