2001 Eclipse GT rims fit a 1g? (worried about Rubbing) & Pic Request!

[skatershawn]

As the title states, would the 2001 Eclipse GT rims fit onto a 93 Eagle talon?
I know the bolt pattern is the same, but im thinking about rubbing!

His a quote from him on the size of them with tires:
"I have 4 rims with tires off of a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT. These are 17 inch rims with KumHo P215/50 R17 tires on them"

there are 17's and in the pic the tires side wall looks kind of big, i'm just afraid to get and them rub like crazy!

I know there's a ton of thread about this for the 2g but nothing on the 1g that i could find! And if there are any people out there sporting these rims on their 1g, can you PLEASE post Pics! Thanks!

They should. I was running stock 16" 1g wheels on my 3g for a few days. So, I can only assume they'll work the other way. The 17" wheels obviously have more clearance.

Or are you talking about the tire diameter, not the actual rim?

Find the offset; use the calculator.

I had 3g wheels on my 1g for a wile..They were 16's tho..

What's the issue here..They probably have a smaller tire diameter..So they should work with no problems..

Thank you all for the replies!

Find the offset; use the calculator.

And im not to fond on wheel sizing, this is the reason i ask! I know this may seem like a basic question for many, but i still have the stock 15" steelies I NEED to get rid of haha!

Now can I find this Calculator on this site?

Many times over, but here:

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

A quick Googling puts the GT wheels at 17x6.5 with 46mm offset.
