Springs and rims
Saturday, September 03, 2011 7:38 PM
Hey I have a set of 19x8.5 ADR sterlings and I'm wondering if I can put the eibach sport line springs on the car. Right now the cars got tokico struts and pro kit springs. Any positive help appreciated

They wont fit. Anything bigger than a 17 wont fit no matter what you do ever. 16's are even better but their choices get limited when you want streets and are making big power (there's no limit to sizes in slick tires through).

There's all types of people on here lowered with 18s no problem and I read last night a guys got coil overs with 20s. Check the rim and tire section. The offset is 35mm but has built in spacer. So leafy the only rims you can put on sportlines are 17s? I hope someone can tell me different.

Oh no, you can put bigger wheels on, and they will physically fit in the wheel well. But they still wont fit your 2500 dollar economy car.

The rims with low pros are the same size as the stocks. In theory if it's spaced already it should fit. You can put pro kit on stock rims. Why not 19s with the same diameter as the 16s and if it's spaced there should be clearance. I'll put up a pic but I'm on my phone right now.

Well that wasn't sarcasm but for a guy who thinks he knows everything along side a bunch of guys that criticize other people's rides instead of helping them like the forum is supposed to do, im surprised you didnt know that. Ill tell you what it was, improper wording that leads people to believe your talking about something else. I asked if it would fit I didn't ask his opinion on what he thought they would look like. I asked for positive help and neither if you gave me any. Your useless members when it comes to helping a stranger. Now if your going to sit there and mouth off some more you will just prove my point further. So if you have anything POSITIVE that helps please post if not don't bother responding. Thanks again

So you could answer azncav's question as to what offset. Then we would actually be able to tell you if they would bolt in.

I did answer in my second post. The offset is 35mm the bolt pattern is 5x100 and the rim size is 19x8.5. The question once again with a 1.7 drop in front and 2.3 in the back (sportlines) will these rims fit and have a safe radius turn with minimal rubbing. It looks as though there is a spacer built in.

you will be fine. as long as you have the correct tire. and no wheel has built in spacers lol.

Thanks, I guess it was the offset I was referring to. Hopefully all goes well.
