!8" speedlines ended up on the SVX

The 18" Kazeras offset was too wide for the front of the SVX. They look pretty good on the Z. So I have swapped wheels from Z to SVX. The super wide rear of 9.5" on the SVX ends up with a slight rub with the 265/35 tires. I will have to tweak the fender and or buy a smaller tire for the rear. Take a look.

No

Don't recommend different size or width tires for the AWD SVX. You would just be asking for quick tranny problems.

Exclamation hot. very hot.

Giugiaro would definately approve. wheels remind of F40's. be sure the tire circumference is the same. just wrap a tape measure around the inflated tire on the car. the front tires look shorter. i just checked the specs and no tire has the same height as the 265/35-18 in any make. your best bet is 245/45 or 255/40 all the way around.
