Bent wheel = new rims(wheels), but what would look good on a 94 Cutlass Supreme?

[George]

http://www.tirerack.com has several wheels in 8in width, all are 18in dia. and range from +36 - +40 offset. Here are some I like in random order.

They do have other wheels in 7.5in width as well.

I never liked the wheels that tirerack has, but then again, I like concave wheels a lot more than anything else.

 

 

Eagle alloy 17 inch 185s

Mustang 18 inch bullits (offset my be a issue on earlier cars though)

Cobra wheels fit for sure, but they are 18x9. If the wheel doesn't sit flush with the rotors, they fit otherwise I need spacers. This is why I can't run caddy wheels

On my 03 I had to grind a 1/10 of an inch off my caliper bracket. The offset was something like 50mm on the 18x9

With the Bullitt wheels?

 

That sounds rather strange, the Cobra wheels are +23. They fit like a glove... only problem is this:

 

 

Don't mind the rubber band tire, the wheel was on a Mazda RX-7 with rolled fenders.

The higher the offset, the more tucked they are, so the more likely you'd need to remove some material from the caliper bracket.

I have been looking for a decent set of cobra wheels for a long time for the 'vert.

They're not that hard to find in the DC area. I can get some for you if you're willing to meet... Or I'll go to Michigan if you can get me Cutty parts.

I've about given up on that car, and I don't need to spend more money when I got the T'bird sitting around.

[Nas Escobar]

What's wrong with that car anyways? It seems you have no love for it anymore...

[94 olds vert]

Nothing is wrong with it. I still love it. Just dont drive it anymore.

Yeah the 18x9 05+ bullits are very high offset. the 05+ 17x8 bullits are a little lower offset but not much. the 04- 17x8 bullits are medium offset at about +35. Then of course the cobra wheels are low offset like you stated.

The main problem I think is that I can't run anything more than 8 inches wide or else it sticks out.. I wonder if a higher offset would help though. I remember someone telling me that I had to get 40 offset wheels for them to clear the rotor, while the Caddy wheels are 35, which is why they would rub.

[jake91]

Yeah higher offset makes them sit in the wheel well farther. As for the rotor part that shouldn't have much to do with offset but more spoke design

[Nas Escobar]

I might try my luck with Bullitts. IDK if it would look good on a boxy car like mine but eh

[Nas Escobar]

So I'm bringing this thread from the dead to ask this...

 

What do you guys think of this wheel? It's a tire rack special, but it's only available in 17". Not too crazy about that.

 

[Psych0matt]

I like them, but not the 17" part

[GnatGoSplat]

x2. 17" looks a bit small on these cars.

[rich_e777]

I think those with white letter tires would look sweet.

 

I`ve never seen the difference between the 17" and 18" rims on a W so I couldn't really say about that. Im still trying to decide which rims I want before I turn my sawtooths? sawblades? into furniture.

nissan 17s on my car back in the day

[intern8tion9l]

I think they would look good. Def not with white lettered tires though

[Nas Escobar]

Yeah, so I'll wait if they come out in 18s. I just can't convince myself of putting 17s on the Cutty.
