Exclamation HELP WITH 17X8 for SC 430!!

<<also posted in wheels classified>>

I am striking out trying to downsize to 17in.

Tirerack, wheel experts and wheels boutique all say they have no wheel that will fit. And countless other local guys...

Does anyone know if the OEM 17x8 from the GS will fit? Will they accept RF sensors?

Any and all suggestions appreciated and, yes, I know that downsizing is not a popular thing to do.

Thanks!

I'm putting these on my SC400 17x8, if you put 245/45 RZ17 you'll have a very close outside diam. within .1-.2 of an inch of the OEM depending on the brand. See GSwill he'll help you out, he sure did for me!

I read on the SC430 forum about a 16" winter package offered in Canada. So, there's got to be a way to make 17's work. Ask 2savvy about it.

GKW...

SRQ will have a set of work Termist TM-1 on his sc.
most of SC and GS wheels are interchangeable...but the RF sensor will not be compatible(sp?)..

the best thing to do, if possible, is to put the car on the rack, and try on the GS wheels on your SC..

btw, why downsizing?...

how about similar style from either WORK or the Gettins, simple 5 spokes like the stock 17s?
