3000gt wheels? do they fit
I think I remember people talking about how these did fit, however I was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny if these wheels fit.
They have 245/45/16 tires on them. I need new tires ASAP, and found these... I don't particularly like the way they look, but heck, if they work I'd rock them.

You have to be a member to view the link. What are the dimensions of the wheel and offset?

The circumference of the 245/45/16 tire size is also very close to the stock 225/50/16 tire size so your speedo wouldn't be off much.

Yeah... For reference... 245/50/16s don't really fit. Ask me how I know.

I know people have put the VR4 wheels on which are 17x8 IIRC.

The RX-7 wheels I had on my car had 16x8" dimensions, but a very high +50mm offset. This worked very well with the stock SVX suspension (as our stock wheels also have a high +55mm offset). If those wheels wheels have an offset lower than +45mm I'd pass on them. If the offset is any higher than +58 to +60mm then they may rub against your strut.

The answer is .... YES!!! And I should know.. I totalled my VR-4 and took the rims and tires off of it and threw em on the Suby. Here's the kicker. I am not able to confirm that the non-VR-4 wheels will fit. Also, unless you want a little rubbing I wouldnt go with 245's. 225's is what I hear is the most you can squeeze, however with a hammer and only running 1/2 a tank of gas in my car I haven't had any rubbing . Now there is a problem if of course your passenger happens to be a very large person, or if you plan on putting more than 2 people in the car. The fronts clear just fine its the rears that I have had the problem with.... Hope this helps!

I didn't end up getting them, but after doing some measuring they would fit... they're short enough. i've pretty much decided that any wheel that fits on a DSM will fit on an SVX, with the exception of wheels with lower offsets, (ie 30) By the way, they are still for sale in Wisconsin if anyone is interested. Basically brand new yoko tires on them, and freshly painted wheels. I think he wants 600$ for the entire set.
