futuretgper Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 yeah, i only found the asa ar1 for sale at tirerack, search for them as if u were searching for a 2000 grand prix, they have them in 18s and 17s (18s are 219/wheel) here is the info for 18s with our bolt pattern width and centerbore: http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?target=wheelSearchCloseUp&wheelIndex=2&sizeIndex=2&showRear=no&setIndex=0&filterSize=&filterFinish=&filterSpecial= i guess us TGP guys would need a wheel spacer to make thise wheel fit right but thats no big deal.. 8) yeah they are not very common wheels, do a google search like this: asa ar1 cardomain, and some will pop up...also the google image search with some looking should turn up some good hits, ive never found any black asa ar1s for photoshoping but ill try to manually change the color and post a pic for u!! anyway here is the alessio vittoria: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they come in 8inch wide)[/quote'] The Silver look badass as well. Might not need spacers for them, I wish I could find all the specs on them. I'm probably going to post pictures soon of my TGP with chrome 17'' mustang bullit replicas(going to put my brothers wheels off his stang on my car to see how they'd look..at least one side anyways), I believe they'll fit dead-up without spacers(same offset anyways..and made where it doesn't look like there will be any clearance issues).

mfewtrail Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Thanks, I actually didn't look at the the 2nd gen GP application info(the links won't work and give you some "sesion timed out" error or something...I edited one out of my previous post for that reason :oops: ). So what size spacer do we need with that? I'd rather not run spacers, but if I have to for some nice wheels, I probably will. 8) EDIT: Do we have to make up for the 15mm w/ a spacer? If so, that's a tad over a 1/2''....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futuretgper Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 well u might do some testing once u buy the wheels with some home fabed spacers just to check for tire rubbing, especialy on the fronts.... but 15mm would bring them back to oem specs...u probably could get away with less but ud have to do some checking of ur own, ive heard of 5/16s spacer being common for 1st gen w-bodys running newer wheels...so u could look into that, i pm'ed someone awhile ago about it and they said they didnt have any problems with a spacer and that there were no vibrations or anything...and as long as there is plenty of stud left i don't think 15mm would be too big of a deal... but do it, buy them!! cmon man u gotta!! btw what kinda milage do u have on ur car!! looks outstanding, especially with that agressive lowered look!!

[/quote'] It's right at 73K at the moment(only two or three other people besides my self have ridden in it since I've had it, I'm a neat freak when I drive it..no food/drinks allowed, period 8) ) Do you have any pictures of your low mileage TGP hosted? I don't recall if I've seen it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futuretgper Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 how do u guys think a 245/40/18 tire would fit on 18x7.5in wheels......compared to our 16x8in wheels.....what im getting at is, would i have to get slightly less wide tires if i got wheels that were a half inch more narrow??? or would 245s be ok still....a site i was on suggested 235s so i was thinkin a 245 would still be fine...any comments or sugestions???
