Wheels that fit the SVX
 

There have been some members here that are wondering about what wheels fit the SVX. I know that if we have the offset, we can figure out if they will fit, but what about looks. If you have some wheels that are good looking and fit the SVX, please post a picture and give the size so others can see what some of you have used.

Thanks and I hope this will help some of you. :) :)

I dunno about others Earl, but I have fitted wheels that are originally made for Mercedes Benz. I did a little work on them, on the level of the bolts (i increased the diameter of the bolts holes) and a ring on their center. But this is me and my stupid ideas... I just wanted the change and to put good rims in my car. (we have some holes in roads here, so i need a good rim to withstand them)

with 245-40/17 BFG G-Force KDW-2 no rubbing -ever. Even on the track.
Also, I blew a Koni front shock hitting a pot-hole and the wheel came through just fine. Have had it up to about 95 since then (no track time yet) with no vibration whatsoever. I think it's still round.

I have Subydude on my EBAY sellers list. He seems to have a good list of nice looking rims. I'm really liking this thread since i have plans on purchasing 17" rims sometime next year. Good idea Earl to start this thread. I think the color of these bronze rims would look even better on my Claret......Keep the pics coming. I'm keeping my eyes open for offsets of 48mm or better.....

Look in the locker of svxxx26 to see the Lexus SC430
wheels he put on his SVX. I believe they are 18".
He got them from Dayle.

I can only imagine the photoshoot possibilities in hawaii :cool:

Wow, those OZ SL's look really good on your SVX makalii!

...I really wanted to get some mesh BBS's, but the Superleggeras look great, and are much cheaper than the BBS LM's I want.

Those are the OZ's that I really like on the SVX. And the spoiler also :cool:

Dan,
Not sure what the weight of those rims are, Im sure Dayle could answer that
though. I do know they are 35mm off-set 5X4.5 lug pattern (at least according to e-bay ;) )


These are the rims I have on mine now, they are American Racing, not sure what the model is, nor do I know the off-set (when I get a around to it, Im going to contact AMR for the info), but they are 16" and Im running 92' stock size tires. I got them from a member here for $250 with tires, but had to replace the tires as they were a mismatched set (came off a fwd SVX)

Sorry that I'm in the pic...it's the only reasonably sized direct side shot I have

AZA Z2s
18"
225 40/18 (I think)

http://www.expertwebcreations.com/pe...dpics/side.jpg

they are the exact same bolt pattern as the svx
with usable almost the same offsets and larger
hubcenters.
Just need new lugs.
Neither wheel is all that heavy, as you may expect
from Lexus. And as for the Muranos, neither are they.
I have a set of each in stock used as well as some 17"
Mustang take off wheels that will fit.
And theres a few more styles on special on my site
I suggest checking out the styles and pics in the site.

Dayle,
Mainly curious, but are these being sold with the Nissian center caps or do you provide "blanks"? (or do are there subie ones that fit??)
Also what size/type of lugs are necessary to use these rims on the SVX??

I just stick with the caps that come in the wheels
doesnt bother me. Ive never had anyone even remotely
point out their name or whatever
We sell the correct lugs with the wheels. :)

Does it come in 34x24x34? ;)

Does anyone know the offset for this wheel:
http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...ydra_ci3_l.jpg

OZ Hydra
its a 17x8" wheel, with a 5-114 bolt pattern. Tirerack says it fits the 3rd gen RX-7 so it should fit our cars, they dont list the offset though. $229 each isnt bad.

I also found a bullitt Mustang replica wheel 17x9" its our bolt pattern and with a +45mm offset, I wonder if that would fit?


dustin

17 X 9" ??? hmmm, too much

I agree, whats this problem with everyone thinking bigger is better ???
Youd never find a tire wide enough to fit the wheel and keep the correct height.
Even 8" wide is overkill inho

heres 17x8 Bullitts, with 225-45-17 tires
fits great, the tires are square with the wheels
Personally Id rather have the tire bulge out away
from the wheel myself for better protection
For that you could run a 235-40-17, but they are
harder to find and cost more $

I took my summer tires off today, and put back on the winter ones. Summer are BFG G-ForceT/A KDW-2 245/40-17 on the Rota Boost 17x8 wheels. Winter are 225/50-16 Pirelli P-Zero-Neros on stock wheels. Decided to weigh them while I was it it, but only had a bathroom scale, so accuracy is probably within half a pound or so. Stock wheel and tire weighed in at 43 lbs. The 17's wheel and tire weighed in a little more than 43 lbs, but maybe not as much as a whole half pound. Given the weight of my Muteki open end alloy lugs vs. the stock lugs, it's probably a wash.

Really noticed the difference in ride comfort. This is the first time I have driven with the Pirelli's since my coil-over mod. The Pirelli's are much more compliant over small bumps. I thought the rough ride was due to my coil-over's, but a significant amount came from the 40 series tires vs. the stock 50's. Big bumps are pretty much the same, but the small ones kind of go away with the Pirelli's.

The OZ Hydra offset is 40mm. It also comes in an 18 x 8. www.1010tires.com is thorough for wheel sizes, weights and offsets. :cool:
