New Wheels and Tires

bro you mean to say the 7th gen rims are not fitting well? I thought this rims are a direct bolt on?

 

argh... i just bought a new set of rubbers for the rims and planning on putting it on this weekend... is this maybe because you are running 205/50/16 tires? but this should not be the case since stig and other fellow members are running the same size wheels...


man, i hope this works out, or else i'm doomed...

and this is what I found googling for info... pretty much the same except the stock rims that came from the factory

im confused :scratch

nevermind i get it that seems like a big issue someone else with the wheels wuolda mentioned wait for stig.

but dident you have a pic of test fit?

 

OK so not to make u sound dumb or anything.....but are there already hub-centric rings on the wheels?....... I know mine like to stick to the wheels when I pull mine off.

Or someone lied to u and those aren't 7th gen wheels which they damn near look like they are.

 

I pm'd entrax and asked if he had issues with his set as he is also runnign a 7th gen gts rims...

 

as mentioned by nate, either you bought a lookalike set or additional hubcentric (or spigot is the other name) rings are installed on it (just pop them off). i have both the ZZT230 7th gen 15" GT wheels and the ZZT231 7th gen 16" wheels. they mount PERFECTLY on. the center hub bore is 54.1mm and they fit snug on the st162 hub. you can even use the factory st162 lugnuts, which i'm using on my car.

my tire sizes for both sets are 195/55/15 and 205/50/16, they both fit with or without spacers.

oh and that google info isn't quite right

86-89 GTS 5x100 14x6 54.1
90-93 (with 5s-fe/3s-gte engine) 5x100 14x6 54.1
94-99 (with 5s-fe/3s-gte engine) 5x100 15x7 54.1
00+ (with 1zz engine) 5x100 15x6 54.1
00+ (with 2zz engine) 5x100 16x6.5 54.1

any of these wheels will fit the 5 bolt st162 and all st165's.

 

clean off (wirebrush/sandpaper the mounting surface on your car (hub/brake rotor). that definitely looks like they're already sitting on the hub but just something is in the middle. preventing it from seating all the way in

 

looks pretty darn close... did you try to jiggle it a bit? sometimes even when just trying to change a flat tire, you have to find the "center" of the rims/hub prior to tightening the lugs...

and looking at the info, all specs and numbers that entrax posted should eliminate doubts that it does, indeed, fit our car.

 

Good luck! those rims look perfect on your car!

 

did you finally get it to fit?

 

take off the center cap and then put them on....take a pic then THROUGH the wheel....to see if shes hub centric or not.


sometimes wheels have nubs on the back of them, its best to take a wire wheel and go to town on the back of the rim's mounting surface

 

Mine mounted fine and still using stock lugs. I did the bg install today and pretty pleased with the ride even if im just on monroe struts...
